html question.

Ok... It occurs to me that I have missed out completely on the development of the DIV tag.

I suspect that I could use a primer or help with understanding how it is employed, if it is indeed how the following effect is achieved...

For example, look at this site... http://www.heidi-strobel.com/html/index.html

YES IT'S A CHEESY SITE... but it's the example I can quickly find... the background image is pretty well the whole site. There are several html elements "in front" of the background image. The source code on the page is a great deal of the DIV tag and a little javascript action.

When I copy the site code and load it up in a HTML editor ... all I get is the html elements occuring below the graphic... versus "in front" of the graphic.

Why ?? what's going on with this?
