how can i keep a certain <div> always on top of other <div>s when it gets dragged around?

style="z-index:10;"

z-index acts like layers in Photoshop, etc with the highest number indicating the top most layer.

you can try putting the draggable window at the end of the page code

i cant do that because its in a table... but the z-index doesnt work..

also, do you know how to make a div stay attatched to the bottom edge of the browser window? you will never need to v. scroll so it doesnt need to move....?

possible solution for the z-index not working:
I think you must set the 'position' css attribute to either "absolute" or "relative" before using z-index.

i.e.:
<DIV style="position:absolute;">

confirmed, z-index only works with absolute postioning.

z index works also with relative. why not?
