Hi there! I have a page with several draggable objects (DIVs). Since they are very likely to overlay, I want the one last dragged to stay on top (What I want is something like http://www.vonklier.de/). Therefore, I have a function which changes the z-index of the draggables after each dragging action. Maybe have a look at it and try the following code in your browser: <pre> <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript" src="prototype.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="scriptaculous.js"></script> <style type="text/css"> #imgContainer1 { position:absolute; top:200; left:100; width: 393; height: 287; background-color:#AA0000; } #imgContainer2 { position:absolute; top:100; left:20; width: 386; height: 291; background-color:#00AA00; } #imgContainer3 { position:absolute; top:50; left:200; width: 389; height: 293; background-color:#0000AA; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="imgContainer1">one</div> <div id="imgContainer2">two</div> <div id="imgContainer3">three</div> <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"> function dragObserver() { dragObserver.prototype.onEnd = function(eventName, draggable, event) { var myZIndex = draggable.element.style.zIndex; var highest = 0; for (i=0; i<Draggables.drags.length; ++i) { var thisvalue parseInt(Element.getStyle(Draggables.drags[i].element,''z-index'')); if (thisvalue > highest) { highest = thisvalue; } if (thisvalue > myZIndex) { Draggables.drags[i].element.style.zIndex = thisvalue-1; } } draggable.element.style.zIndex = highest; alert("Can you imagine life without ME?"); } } var ob = new dragObserver(); Draggables.addObserver(ob); new Draggable(''imgContainer1'', {zindex:10, starteffect:null, endeffect:null} ); new Draggable(''imgContainer2'', {zindex:11, starteffect:null, endeffect:null} ); new Draggable(''imgContainer3'', {zindex:12, starteffect:null, endeffect:null} ); </script> </body> </html> </pre> I have two questions: 1. Why does this only work in Firefox and not in IE? 2. Why does this cease to work when I delete the silly alert() call? I''d really appreciate if you could help, I think this is a very common use case and I just don''t get it. Thanks!
