how move a single div offscreen

i have 2 overlapping divs like so:

div.back {
    background:url(brick.png);
    background-attachment:fixed;
    background-position:right top;
    background-repeat:no-repeat;
    height:765px;
    z-index:200;
}
div.flash {
    margin-top:-765px;
    z-index:201;
}

what i need to do is set the 'back' div offscreen for a time and then move it back. i tried moving it using a bunch of different jquery methods but for some reason they move all of the divs instead of the one with the specified id.

so how do i move just the bottom one offscreen without affecting the top one? it doesn't need to be animated at all; i just need it set aside until needed. (and "hide" won't work because it messes up my flash, so omit that from your suggestions if you don't mind. :)

thanks.

i ended up solving it; instead of trying to move the topmost div i changed the code to alter the margin-top property of the lowest div instead of the highest one; that was able to leave the highest level one onscreen. i still don't know why attempting to change margin-top of the topmost div would affect all the others but it seems to.

hide sets the display style to none if fx is off, otherwise it animates the opacity you could try:

  • disabling fx
  • setting display to none by yourself
  • setting visibility to hidden by yourself
  • setting opacity to 0 with jquery
  • setting position to absolute, left to -1000, top to -1000, width and height to 100 using jquery or by yourself
  • putting the div somewhere else, and using remove and appendTo to move it using jquery (if it's just an image)

would $("div.back").hide() do the trick?
