Hi guys,

How could I have a slide show going in the background of my website with my navigation bar on top?

I'm trying to do the same as this website http://www.islandtribe.co.za/

Thank you,

Terry

You have to use position: relative or position: absolute and a z-index for the menu to keep it on top.

Just to be sure I add the above to the slideshow too, with a z-index: -1; to make sure everything else will sit on top including the menu dropdown with a z-index: 5;

Aaah great thanks for that. I'm just finishing off the design then going to cut it up and code it so will try then and report back thanks again.

right after playing about with it I've managed to do all that but now how do I centre everything? do I have to centre everything with "position" surely there's an easy way.

I'm trying to download a jquery background image slider but I want it to be in my header and not actually a full background of my website. I want to do the same as in this website http://www.islandtribe.co.za/

Thanks, Terry

Hi Terry,

That is in the header? they have just made it look like it blends into the background but it has really just been overlaid. The background image is here:

which repeats down the page. Have you used jquery before? Is there a specific point at which you are getting stuck? Some code samples would help.

It looks like the site is using this slider on the site, positioned in the header of the page.

I've managed to find a slider to use but when I view it in dreamweaver its all out of line but when I preview it on the web its fine, is this normal?

Another quick problem, I've got to div tags 1 on the left and the other on the right but I don't want them to have a height to them because its going into wordpress so their going to expand at different times but with out putting a height to them I can't give them a background?? and solutions??

Thanks.

Yes. Never trust the design view in DreamWeaver, just test in various browsers.
