Re: CSS

Hi Nicole.

I have a couple of ideas for you.

Define the images on seperate layers, each with it's own z-index and
position. Here's an example

<style>
  .bigImage
  {
    z-index: 1;
    position: absolute;
    top: 100px;
    left: 100px;
  }

  .smallImage
  {
    z-index: 2;
    position: absolute;
    top: 150px;
    left: 150px
  }
</style>

and then when you place the images :

<div class="bigImage">
  <img src="pathToBigImage .../>
</div>

<div class="smallImage">
  <img src="pathToSmallImage .../>
</div>

That should work. If you wish to place things relatively, try replacing
"position: absolute;" with "position: relative;", and the element you
define like that will be placed with co-ordinates relative to the last
element placed on the page. 

Just be wary that results may differ between browsers ... sad but true.

Hope it helps.
