If I had a bunch of absolute positioned divs and they overlapped, how would I get a certain div to come to the front? Thanks again guys!

Use the CSS z-index property. Elements with a greater z-index value are positioned in front of elements with smaller z-index values. Note that for this to work, you also need to set a position style ( position:absolute , position:relative , or position:fixed ) on both/all of the elements you want to order.
In order to pull an html element out of the natural flow of how the elements are layed out on the screen you need to use position: absolute. This will allow the element to become a layer above the other elements (assuming that the z-index value is greater than all other's).
prepend() method inserts the specified content as the first child of each element in the jQuery collection (To insert it as the last child, use . append() ).
append() & . prepend() .append() puts data inside an element at the last index; while. . prepend() puts the prepending element at the first index.
This is a CSS thing, not a jQuery thing (though you can use jQuery to modify the css).
$('element').css('z-index', 9999); // note: it appears 'zIndex' no longer works Or, absolute positioning will bring something to the top:
$('element').css('position', 'absolute'); With jQuery (like you asked):
$('#a-div').parent().append($('#a-div')); // Pop a div to the front Weird how everyone went with z-index. Why override natural stacking order when you can just pop it to the front within the DOM?
