That's an excellent suggestion. I think I'll try it. Thanks a lot.
Do you know of a good resource of information about z-order? I'll Google it, but to be honest, I've never done anything with divs & z-order.

z-order is a css positioning thing <div style="z-order:2;">
goes in front of <div style="z-order:1;"> if both divs use
absolute positioning to overlap each other. Couple of examples of
something similar here - http://www.new2asp.com/Section_CSS/default.asp
You'd need to reload the page though when you toggle. With javascript/dhtml toggling visibiliity/display, you wouldn't rload.

Thanks for your reply. I'm also having quite a bit of trouble finding/generating an opaque image. Do you know of any good resources / image editors I might try?

I think Paint Shop Pro has a free trial you can download.

Hi
Or you could use a filter on the layer.
<DIV ID="Genomskinligt" STYLE="position:absolute; top:157px; left:25px; width:801; height:800px; z-index:2
padding:10px; background:silver;
filter:
progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(grayscale=0, xray=0, mirror=0, invert=0, opacity=0.50, rotation=0)
progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(color='#666666', Direction=135, Strength=16)">
</DIV>
Dosent work in all browsers.
Its in swedish, but i think you get the hang of it.

Actually, filters only work in 1 browser - lol.
Catering to the IE crowd is increasingly a loosing proposition.

So it seems like an opaque image is the way to go. The only problem is that I'm having the hardest time generating an opaque image. I found an image online that was the right color, but not the right size. But when I try to edit the image, no matter what I do - stretch, copy & paste sections, etc., the image editor saves the image as solid instead of opaque. I'm using Corel/JASC Paint Shop Pro, and I even try to adjust the opacity of the layer, and it still saves as solid. Is there something about opacity that I'm missing here?
Thanks

Actually, you don't need to have the opaque image be the actual size of
the rte. You just need it to be the background of a DIV on top of the
RTE. The DIV need to be the size of the RTE.
Something similar - but in reverse - to what's here... http://www.new2asp.com/Section_CSS/Img_O_U_Text/translucent_text_area.asp
If you are having trouble setting it up, PM me with a url.
