    I have all these images that have to go in the right column (.rmargin) of my website. The images, in turn, must go underneath the main column (.type). I have assigned z-indexes to each, but the images aren't tucking. Does this have something to do with the fact the columns are floated?

    Here is the site

    Let me ask this then, if something is floated, can I not use the z-index to decide what elements are on top of other elements?

    According to the w3c, z-index only applies to "positioned" elements.

    Are the images positioned?

    Its actually the entire column that I am looking to tuck. The images are in the columns, which are then floated. I have feeling that if I go through and zindex the images themselves, I'll have a fighting chance. Thanks!

    I don't have much experience with z-index, but I do I've only gotten it to work with
    position: relative;
    Basically you have to specify a position, ie static, fixed, absolute or relative
