A simple answer would be yes.
There are various ways to handle this task. Using HTML/CSS, you can easily stack elements on top of each other.
HTML:
<img id="imga" src="img1.png"/>
<img id="imgb" src="img2.png"/>
<img id="imgc" src="img3.png"/>
CSS:
img
{
position:absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
}
The most important aspect here is the use of absolute positioning for the images (imga, imgb, and imgc) in your HTML document. This allows them to disregard default layout settings. By manipulating the left and top properties, you can determine the coordinates where each image will overlay. In the provided example, all images are positioned in the top-left corner of the page. To control the stacking order, utilize the z-index property as shown below:
#imga
{
z-index: 10;
}
#imgb
{
z-index: 20;
}
#imgc
{
z-index: 30;
}
This setup places imgc at the forefront, followed by imgb, and then imga. The z-index determines the layering of elements where a higher value results in an element being placed in front of others.
To personalize this for your project, slightly modify the code:
HTML
<img id="layer1" src="img1.png"/>
<img id="layer2" src="img2.png"/>
<img id="layer3" src="img3.png"/>
CSS
img
{
position:absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
}
#layer1
{
z-index: 10;
}
#layer2
{
z-index: 20;
}
#layer3
{
z-index: 30;
}
Understanding the layer hierarchy - with layer3 as the topmost (accessories layer), layer2 in the middle (person layer), and layer1 at the bottom (background layer) - enables you to add accessories fluidly:
<img src="accessory1.png" onClick="setAccessory('accessory1.png');"/>
Utilize JavaScript to dynamically change the first layer's source upon clicking an accessory:
function setAccessory(path){
document.getElementById('layer1').src = path;
//if using jQuery: $("#layer1").attr("src", path);
}
You can expand this concept further by adding more layers for additional accessories or incorporating dynamic z-index assignment via JavaScript.
In conclusion, I trust you found this tutorial beneficial. Consider exploring jQuery and the <canvas> element for enhanced application development experiences.
Best of luck with your project!
