(If you can't post a link the visit the Sitepoint css forums and post snippets of your code and someone will help). Ultimately its the parent of each element that will control its stacking level and you may be addressing the wrong element. If you have applied position:relative and a z-index to each element and they still don't overlap as you want then move back up the tree to the parents of each and set a position a z-index as required.

Thanks! Is it possible to separate the element being hovered and the element with the modified z-index? So, instead of rolling over the images themselves, you roll over a list naming the pictures, and the named picture gets bumped? I'm new to CSS, so I don't know if it's possible to do this entirely in CSS, but any help would be awesome. Wow, this was just the kind of thing I was trying to find. Thanks!

I was noticing a while back that if I right click on an object in my web design program that I can send items to either front or back using layers (like a deck of cards placed on its side I guess) and I noticed that from an SEO standpoint, that the items also moved inside of the HTML. Items that were moved towards the back would appear first in the code after the . I started using this approach for setting the main text with my keywords towards the top of the page in the html. Even if that paragraph appeared at the bottom of the page, the search engines would see it first! I had noticed this and asked someone else if this is either a function that could be done with css or if they could explain it to me. This explanation of how to do the same thing with css is superb!
