And then the Arabs came and they bought Mercedes Benzes. And Prince Charles started wearing all of Lady Di's clothes. I couldn't believe it.

Our whole universe was in a hot dense state,
Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started. Wait...
The Earth began to cool,
The autotrophs began to drool,
Neanderthals developed tools,
We built a wall (we built the pyramids),
Math, science, history, unraveling the mysteries,
That all started with the big bang!

I went a last year and the /talkers were extremely rude, and not like the fluffy boarders who keep me warm and toasty and welcome people

slight tj: who would like to tell me, in idiot-proof terms, about positioning overlapping DIVs with z-index?

(actually I'm not sure I have to put them all in DIVs)
like this:
where there are three DIV layers (the middle one contains 3 images)
it's the top one I want to stick on top - but I can;t seem to float it properly

you should only have an issue with z-indexes if you're floating something over a flash movie or a form element

div - middle layer div
div - position relative, float right (otherwise empty)
div - position absolute, contains whatever you want in the top layer
slashdiv
slashdiv
slashdiv
by using an empty relative-positioned div as a wrapper for an absolute-positioned div you can put it wherever you like. use "top" and "left" css on the absolute-positioned div to move it around more if you want to
