I want to create a sort of light/thick box that only acts on a single DIV within a page. When mine fires off the first div(phantom_back) acts as I want it but the second, phantom_top sets its self after phantom_back regardless of its z-index and positioning.
What am I doing wrong?
Here is what I have so far:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--//
function phantom_back(image)
{
document.getElementById('phantom_back').style.zIndex = 100;
document.getElementById('phantom_back').style.height = '100%';
document.getElementById('phantom_back').style.width = '100%';
phantom_top();
}
function phantom_top(image)
{
document.getElementById('phantom_top').style.zIndex = 102;
document.getElementById('phantom_top').style.height = 600;
document.getElementById('phantom_top').style.width = 600;
document.getElementById('phantom_top').style.top = 0;
document.getElementById('phantom_top').style.left = 0;
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="#" onclick="phantom_back()">Change</a>
<div style="height: 700px; width: 700px; border: 2px black solid; margin:0 auto; background-color: red;" id="overlord">
<div style="height: 10px; width: 10px; position: relative; z-index: -1; background-color: #000000; filter:alpha(opacity=50); -moz-opacity:0.5; -khtml-opacity: 0.5; opacity: 0.5;" id="phantom_back"></div>
<div style="height: 10px; width: 10px; position: relative; z-index: -3; margin: 0 auto; background-color: green;" id="phantom_top">asdf</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
I was wandering why none of the tutorials I've been able to find offer something like this.
