Maybe we should be trying to address a more general need:
Allow multiple elements to occupy the same space, one rendered
over the top of the previous elements that share that space.
...
.top-frame {
position: shared;
background:url(top.png);
background-position:top left;
background-repeat: repeat-x;
z-index: -2;
}
...
<div style='shared'>stuff</div>
<div class='top-frame'/><div class='right-frame'/>
<div class='bottom-frame'/><div class='left-frame'/>
...
It would be nice to control opacity of these overlapping elements as well.
The downside is of course that this seems to require those extra divs in the
source. Perhaps there's a good compromise, like
<div class='top-frame right-frame bottom-frame left-frame'> stuff </div>
or something similar associated with a single class. Ideas?
