Question

This was the original division:

after applying jquery cycle plugin the image gets out of its bottom border like this:

Any ideas why ?

Here is the css of the division:

#hero {
float: right;
border-top: 1px solid #FFF;
width: 725px;
height: 370px;
background: #666;
}

#wave {
width: 970px;
height: 40px;
position: absolute;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
background: url(../img/wave.png) no-repeat bottom left;
}

The cycle plugin uses the z-index, that is likely the source for your problem. From the cycle plugin code:

// set position and zIndex on all the slides
    $slides.css({position: 'absolute', top:0, left:0}).hide().each(function(i) {
        var z;
        if (opts.backwards)
            z = first ? i <= first ? els.length + (i-first) : first-i : els.length-i;
        else
            z = first ? i >= first ? els.length - (i-first) : first-i : els.length-i;
        $(this).css('z-index', z)
    });

I’d play with the z-index of the “wave” and see if that doesn’t help.

#wave {
width: 970px;
height: 40px;
position: absolute;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
background: url(../img/wave.png) no-repeat bottom left;
z-index: 99;
}
