Question

With jQuery how do i find out if div one is over div two? Not, which z-index is higher but what div is visually over the other div.

<style type='text/css'>
    #one {
    position:absolute; top:0; left:0; width:100px; height:100px; background-color:red; z-index:2;
    }
    #two {
    position:absolute; top:0; left:0; width:100px; height:100px; background-color:green; z-index:1;
    }
    </style>    
    <div id='one'></div>
        <div id='two'></div>

Answer 1

You can use the offset method (here) to get the space from the document edges. Add the width and height of the elements, and substract the numbers.
