Css image mask overlay

Question

I am trying to get a transparent image of a png frame to hover over the img tag to create the appearance of the frame above it. I tried several different approaches and nobody works.

The last method I used, http://www.cssbakery.com/2009/06/background-image.html , does not work either.

HTML

<div class="filler">
    <div class="filler-picture">
        <img src="../../media/img/test.jpg" alt="test" />
        <div class="filler-mask">&nbsp;</div>
    </div>
</div>

CSS

.filler {

    padding-left:20px;
    height:361px;
    width:559px;
    float:left;

}

.filler-mask {

    background: url('..img/filler.png') no-repeat;
    position: absolute;
    left:0; top:0;
    height:361px;
    width:559px;

}

.filler-picture {

    z-index: 0;
    background: url('..img/test.jpg') no-repeat;
    position: relative;
    height: 361px;
    width: 559px;
    display: block;

}

Does anyone know why this is not working.

Answer 1

you can put 2 absolute divs under filler-picture with another z-index

<div class="filler">
    <div class="filler-picture">
        <div class="filler-img">
            <img src="../../media/img/test.jpg" alt="test" />
        </div>
        <div class="filler-mask">
            <img src="../../media/img/filler.png" alt="filler" />
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

CSS

.filler-mask {
    position: absolute;
    left:0; top:0;
    height:361px;
    width:559px;
    z-index: 900;
}

.filler-img{
    position: absolute;
    left:0; top:0;
    height:361px;
    width:559px;
    z-index: 50;
}
