Question

I am using the code below, but .under is not rising above (and covering up) #portfolio_content .img img as it should on hover.

#portfolio_wrap {
    overflow:hidden;
    width:980px;
    float:left
}
#portfolio_content {
    float:left;
    clear:both;
    margin:0 auto;
    overflow:hidden;
    width:650px!important
}
#portfolio_content ul {
    list-style:none
}
#portfolio_content .img a { }
#portfolio_content .img a:hover { }
#portfolio_content .img {
    display:block;
    float:left;
    height:210px;
    margin:0 35px 35px 0!important;
    overflow:hidden;
    padding:0;
    width:307px
}
#portfolio_content .img img {
    display:block;
    position:absolute!important;
    overflow:hidden;
    z-index:3!important
}
#portfolio_content .img .title, #portfolio_content .img .title a {
    font-size:22px;
    margin:100px 0 10px 0;
    float:left!important;
    width:307px;
    text-align:center;
    position:relative
}
.desc {
    font-size:13px;
    display:block;
    text-align:center!important;
    margin:0 auto!important;
    width:307px
}
.under {
    z-index:2!important;
    display:inline;
    position:absolute;
    width:307px;
    height:210px
}
.under:hover { z-index:4!important }

Any thoughts? I am assuming this is related to z-index, but I don’t know what I have done wrong.

Without seeing the page rendered, I would have to assume the problem is that you cannot actually hover over .under (z-index:2) as it is hidden under the #portfolio_content .img img (z-index:3) initially and therefore you would just be hovering the img instead.
