How to put div over another?

I have a div that stand for the logo, and I have another div that stand for a slide show. The slide show div is under the logo div, and I want it to be under the it and behind it.

This is what I have:

HTML

  <div id="site-container">
    <div id="header-container">
    <div id="logo"></div>
    </div>
    
    <div id="slide"></div>
    </div>

CSS

#logo {
   background:url(img/logo.png) no-repeat left top;
   width:259px;
   height:147px;
   float:left;
}

#slide {
   background:url(img/slide.png) no-repeat left top;
   width:776px;
   height:437px;
   float:left;
}

I tried to use z position, but it turns to be something I dont want it to. Any why to make the logo div be a top layer without moving its correct position?

The corrected css is,

 #logo {
   background:url(img/logo.png) no-repeat left top;
   width:259px;
   height:147px;
   float:left;
   position:absolute;
   z-index:1000;
}

#slide {
   background:url(img/slide.png) no-repeat left top;
   width:776px;
   height:437px;
   float:left;
   position:relative;
   z-index:500;
}

The position of the slide div is set as relative and logo div is set as absolute. So the logo is placed within the slide.

The value of z-index attribute decides which one is under.

Try the following: CSS

  #Behind{
    width:100%;
    background-color:orange;
    position: absolute;
    z-index: -1;
    padding:50px;
   }
  #TopOne{ 
    position: absolute;
    top:70px;
    left:50px;
    background-color:wheat;
    padding:20px; 
    }

and the htm simply

    <div id="Behind"></div>
    <div id="TopOne">This is Just Testing :)</div>

i used these:

#logo {
   background:url(img/logo.png) no-repeat left top;
   width:259px;
   height:147px;
   float:left;
   position:absolute;
   z-index:1;
}

#slide {
   background:url(img/slide.png) no-repeat left top;
   width:776px;
   height:437px;
   float:left;
   position:relative;

You are missing quite a few things to do that.

z-index will tell you what comes on top.

position needs to be absolute

And you may what to play with the margins...

If you want it over top of the div, you have to use z-index. You have to convert your #logo and #slide to have a position attribute and z-index should be applied to the div whose position you want to move up or down.
