Overlapping "Zoom" div blocking text and options select - html

First question on this page - yay!
I am currently building a website for a client and it is causing me some troubles.
I have a zoom-tool which allows the user to zoom an image, when the cursor is passing the picture.
This creates a "secret" div right on top of my text-div. The text-div contains a select-option dropdown. The "secret" div is blocking for any activity with in the text-div - I cannot highlight any text or select a option in the dropdown. This I am able to do, when I move the text-div away from the "secret" div.
See this page: http://shakermedia.dk/2up/2012/10/seville-modulsofa-sort/
What can I do? Here is the css code for the two divs:
div.zoom-box {
width:450px;
line-height: 0;
height:100%;
float:right;
position:relative;
z-index: 2;
}
div.text-alignment {
width:450px;
float:right;
margin-top:-419px;
height:100%;
position: relative;
}
How can I make the text-div accessible, but keeping the "zoom-box" the same place (overlapping text when zooming)?
Your help is very much appriciated!

you need to try giving the element that is behind a lower value of z-index and the element that is above - a higher z-index value

Fix Position DIV not Overlapping content

I am having an issue getting my fixed position navigation menu to overlap my text, a example of this is: http://www.saveur.com/michel-roux-scrambled-eggs-with-asparagus-and-crab-recipe
With the code I have currently managed the fixed position navigation appears behind the text, but I want it to be at the top and overlapping at all times, just like the website above.
All of the content is fixed position, I have made this so that if any one could help me they could just edit the code easier.
HTML: http://pastebin.com/j7jHjb4h
CSS: http://pastebin.com/sWuLChut
How can I make it so that the navigation menu stays at the top even when scrolling down just like the website above.
Just add a z-index value to the fixed element:
z-index:100;
If larger than any other z-index on the same level, it will overlap everything as needed.
#navMenu {
margin:0;
width:200px;
height: 1px;
z-index: 1000;
}
You could try to give it a high z-index

Link with negative z-index not clickable in IE

Can anyone give me a hint why the link in the gray box is not clickable in Internet Explorer (I'm using version 11).
http://jsfiddle.net/rk7n7xjj/1/
I tested it in any other browsers and it works fine.
HTML
<div class="gray">This link is not clickable in IE</div>
<div class="yellow">Some placeholder text</div>
CSS
.gray {
position:fixed;
z-index:-1;
top:100px;
background:gray;
height:50px;
width:200px;
}
.yellow {
margin:0 auto;
background:yellow;
height:1000px;
margin-top:400px;
}
The link is not clickable becaue of the z-index.
Actually you setting the div behind the body. You must specify the z-index of the body too. Or at least set it positiv so it's in front of the body and set other elemnts higher if you expact to display them in front of the gray div. Thats why you cant click it.
Obviously Firefox and co has no problems to identify the link when you set z-index like this.
This may helps you to understand how you can use z-index also in IE.
In your case, to get what you want, your CSS should look like:
.gray {
position:fixed;
z-index: 1;
top:100px;
background:gray;
height:50px;
width:200px;
}
.yellow {
position:relative;
z-index: 2;
margin:0 auto;
background:yellow;
height:1000px;
margin-top:400px;
}
Actually you dont need the z-index on the gray in your case but if you plan to may display something behind the gray div than you may need it.
The link is not clickable because IE is taking it behind the body. If you notice, even the text of the link is not selectable. Try setting a z-index: 1 to the body or any parent container. That ways you are first telling the browser to take all the elements inside the container to a higher z-index and then move the link behind that raised set of elements (But the movement of the link is done only within the parent's context i.e. the raised level. Read about stacking context). Thus the link now becomes clickable.
Alternate Solution
If you just want the yellow div over the gray div, then give a positive z-index to the yellow div only. Remove the z-index property from the gray div. If no z-index value is present, 0 is taken as the default. It will always stay behind the yellow div.
.yellow {
position: relative;
z-index: 1;
/* other styles */
}

How do I move div so they don't overlap

I am using codeigniter on a project. I have an over lap in DIVs.
(source: childrensdaycaresoftware.com)
In the image you can see that the overlap blocks the button. The CSS that controls this is
.fam {
position: relative;
left: 20px;
width: 400px;
}
If I make it fixed or absolute, it throws off all the work that I have done. I would have to redo the whole page.
Is there a way to send the Family Info block behind the menu button?
The css for these two DIVs are not in the same css file.
You should be able to make the z-index for the button, or its container, a higher number to elevate it above the other div.
.button{
z-index:5;
}
for example.

How to clip the top bar with screen

How to clip my top bar with screen. So as I goes down on page i mean scrolling down the page the top bar should also move. Just like in Facebook the top bar moves on screen.
I am searching google from last 2 hours. But unable to get, that what we calls it.
and my HTML/CSS is ..
#topnavbar
{
width:100%;
height:50px;
background-image:url('top.jpg');
background-repeat:repeat-x;
}
HTML
<div id="topnavbar">
</div>
You're talking about fixing the position of the navbar to the top of the screen, right?
top:0;position:fixed;
-
#topnavbar {
width:100%;
height:50px;
background-image:url('top.jpg');
background-repeat:repeat-x;
top:0;
position:fixed;
}
In CSS, positioning elements is a fundamental concept. In this case, you want a fixed position. According to MDN, you should adhere to the following guidelines for fixed position elements:
Do not leave space for the element. Instead, position it at a
specified position relative to the screen's viewport and doesn't move
when scrolled. When printing, position it at that fixed position on
every page.
To reiterate, if you want to keep an element in the same position, regardless of where the page is scrolled, use position:fixed
#topnavbar{
position:fixed;
}
Example
It seems there are some sort of image slider on your page. So what I will suggest you to include z-index also.
#topnavbar
{
width:100%;
height:50px;
background-image:url('top.jpg');
background-repeat:repeat-x;
position:fixed;
z-index:500;
}
What you need to search for is how to use the css attribute position: fixed; to have a div or other element 'stay where you put it' relative to it's containing element.
Really quick and rough example:

div in position fixed with image under div with main content

i need to create a div in position fixed where i will put the image under a div with the rest of the content
i have put in my CSS header {
margin-bottom: 310px;
} to create a blank below space where there is gonna be my img in the div id="background" in position fixed below.
So then i have created the following id:
#background {
position:fixed;
width:100%;
height:100%;
top:130px;
left:0;
z-index: 1;
overflow:scroll;
}
and
#content {
width:100%;
height:100%;
top:60px;
left:0;
z-index:2;
overflow:scroll;
}
The id background is supposed to be the div where my image is gonna be placed right in the blank space l after the header, the id content is the div where i am gonna have my page content and it start from the top.
Here the page : http://fiddle.jshell.net/CGJmE/4/
The effect i want to achieve is exactly this : http://tommywebdesigner.com/Home%20Page.html
but using the div to gain more flexibility. My problem is that i cannot insert properly my div id background in the position fixed with the image.
I think it s something very simple at this stage, How would you do that?
Hope the explanation is clear
You need to do that with background-position: fixed
I've shown you in this jsfiddle: http://fiddle.jshell.net/CGJmE/7/
Good luck!
I do not understand why you put overflow: scroll on #background, it does nothing, really.
Same with the overflow:scroll on the #content. It is redundant.
In general I do not quite understand what your problem is: http://fiddle.jshell.net/CGJmE/6/
I added <div id="background"><img/></div> where you indicated.
This of course still lacks styling for the header and content. (I added background-color to .container so it doesn't look too ugly).
I assume you have that somewhere else?
If you need more help, please elaborate in more detail what your problem is.
