Hello,
I have an <img> tag and I''d like a form to appear and overlay
that image upon clicking on some button. The image would be still visible
beneath the form through some transparancy effect. I tried the DOM Popup Kit but
the results on Safari were pretty poor (to be fair, the doc clearly states that
this browser is not tested) although, I must say, I was pretty happy with the
results on IE and Firefox. Is there another library that would handle Safari in
a better fashion? Or maybe if someone could point me to a strategy to achieve
that effect? Thank you in advance.
Jean-Christophe

Generally laying elements over top of <img> elements is unnecessary and overly complex. - Ken Snyder --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.

I wouldn''t use the <form> tag for any kind of visual layout, its interpretation varies considerably in different browsers. You could make things a lot easier if you used a div with a background-image property set to the src of your <img> tag now. That way you can nest elements inside of it, like a form! and then upon some action reveal the form and it will appear to be a layer on top of the image with the form controls.
