Arranging and overlaying images with HTML and CSS

Currently, I am in the process of developing a simplistic game through the use of HTML and CSS. The game consists of a background image portraying an alleyway, and my objective is to incorporate additional images on top of this background as clues within the game. However, I seem to be facing challenges when it comes to positioning these images accordingly.

One particular element that I am struggling with at the moment is a PNG image of a dagger, which I intend to position above the alleyway background image. Any guidance or assistance in achieving this would be greatly appreciated. You can find the site here

Below is the HTML code:

<body>
    <div id="logo">
        <img src="images/key.jpg"  width="3%" height="3%"/>
    </div>    

    <a href="abduction.html" class="back">Back</a>
    <a href="scene2.html" class="next">Next</a>

    <div class="backing">
        <img src="images/scene1.jpg"  width="600" height="600"/>
    </div>

    <img src="images/dagger.png" width="10%" height="10%" id="dagger" />

    </body>
</html>

And here is the CSS code:

.backing img {
    position:relative;
    z-index:-10;
    float:left;
    margin-left:12%;
    /* box-shadow: inset 0 0 50px 50px  #FFF;
    -moz-box-shadow: inset 0 0 50px 50px  #FFF;
    -webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 0 50px 50px  #FFF; */
    -moz-border-radius-: 50px;
    border-radius: 50px;
    margin-bottom:5%;
    margin-top:1%;
}

.next {
    position:relative;  
    margin-left:2%;
    z-index:200;
}

.back {
    position:relative;
    margin-left:32%;
    z-index:220;

}

#dagger {
    position:relative;
    z-index:300;
}

Answer №1

To achieve the desired effect of placing the dagger on top of the picture, you should use the CSS property position: absolute.

Update:

In order to successfully position the elements as intended, it is recommended to first set the .backing element as position: relative, and then proceed to position both images (dagger and scene) on top of it using position: absolute.
