How to overlap the content?

Hi,

I added a top area to the grid (cf: http://www.activewidgets.com/javascript.forum.12543.2/composite-controls-adding-more-elements.html)

The height of this top area is set as following:

obj.setPanelHeight(50, 0); //top line

In this area, I have a span with a height of 100px (and an absolute position). I notice that the content itself of the grid is over this span.
Actually I'd like this span going over the content.
How can I do that? I played with the z-index, but without success.

Thanx for your help.
Me.

setting z-index together with position:absolute should work, not sure why it does not in your case.

I do not know, but it didn't.

I decided to put my elements (that I planned to put inside the top area) out of the grid, so no top area anymore. And this is also good.

Thanx.
