position layer relative to current moused over image

[aonefun]

I will be creating a layer to show up onmouseover of any thumbnail image of color swatches. How do I position the layer to appear directly above any current moused over thumbnail image?

Page example:
http://www.canchair.com/new_web_product_detail.asp?ProductID=450&ProductFamily=1&ProductFamilySub=9

Wrap the image in a relatively positioned div, e.g.,

<div style="position:relative;">

This will set the positioning context for any absolutely positioned element
included within that wrapper, e.g.,

<div style="position:relative;">
<img ...>
<p style="position:absolute;top:-50px;left:150px;">This will say something
about the image</p>
</div>

Try that code and see how it looks.

I'm not sure if I understand correctly because where does my layer come into the picture?

correct page link follows (please rollover the vinyl colour swatch to see what I mean thanks!):

A "layer" is just an absolutely positioned element on the page. In my
example, the "layer" would be the paragraph tag that contains the text about
the image. Try putting that code on a page in various locations and look to
see where the paragraph appears.
