Placing a div over a jQuery image slider

Question

I'm trying to place a div element over the a jQuery Tools Scrollable image gallery. I've got everything placed in the right way, however the div doesn't appear on top of the jQuery object even if I set z-index: 2. Here's my code:

div#wrapperContainer{
display: table;
overflow: hidden;
margin: -5px auto;
}

//this is the div i'm trying to put on top of the jQuery Tool
div#wrapper {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
z-index: 2;
width: 1024px;
height: 192px;
background-color: #525252;
-moz-box-shadow: 0px -10px 50px #000; 
-webkit-box-shadow: 0px -10px 50px #000; 
        box-shadow: 0px -10px 50px #000;
}

//this is the CSS for the jQuery Tool

.scrollable {
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
width: 940px;
height: 528px;
-moz-border-radius: 10px;
-webkit-border-radius: 10px;
 -khtml-border-radius: 10px;
        border-radius: 10px;
}

.items {
width: 20000em;
clear: both;
position: absolute;
}

.items  div{
float: left;
width: 940px;
height: 528px;
}

Answer 1

Take a look at jQuery.toggle().

Answer 2

Can you position the wrapper div absolutely? If so, that should take care of it, along with a proper z-index.

See the positioning example here.
