Open up http://irule.at/quovadis, and it will show you a regular theme. The problem is that the div photos is not showing up. It's most likely hiding behind body/html because of the z-index, but I want them to show behind the divs in the middle. How do I fix this?
It looks like you're using a negative z-index for photos. Instead of that, use a positive or 0 index, and give the other elements a higher index. Also remember that in order for z-index to work the elements should have position: relative. I got photos to show up by having it z-index 1, having header z-index 2 and position relative.
You've had an answer, but thought I'd chip in a little to clear things up.
Z-indexing requires an element to be positioned, not necessarily relative or absolute as you've already figured out, but fixed is also an option.

I am currently trying to create a landing page for a photoshop layout. I am quite new to HTML and CSS and I am having trouble solving this. My drop-down menu lists are getting covered by the content. I think it might be about positioning... Thanks
I will attach a picture and I will also share my code if needed...
Dropdown menu getting covered by content (positioning) IMAGE
As previously stated you can use z-index to determine how elements are rendered on top of each other. Elements with an higher z-index are on top of elements with a lower z-index.
According to the MDN docs:
The z-index CSS property specifies the z-order of a positioned element and its descendants. When elements overlap, z-order determines which one covers the other. An element with a larger z-index generally covers an element with a lower one.
Just but z-index:999; on your dropdown.
Objects with higher z-index number will go above those with lower numbers.
Add the CSS attribute z-index: 999; to your dropdown's CSS. Not necessarily should it be 999, but just that 999 is the maximum one can use in z-index.
The property of z-index is that a division with a higher z-index will be displayed above a division with a lower number in the z-index, therefore allowing you to decide the hierarchy of the appearance of different divisions.

If z-index is not solved, you can check nav container and if you found overflow-y you can comment that line.
So I know there are a plethora of questions about position fixed/relative/absolute in relation with z-index, but I still couldn't figure out my question using those.
Essentially I have a header that is fixed. It works perfectly fine, everything goes behind it when scrolling down the page.
I recently wanted to add links to div ids, but in order to account for the header, I had to add the following code where link is the parent element, and then linkTo is the class of something with an ID that we actually link to. This functionality works completely, providing the correct offset so that the header is above the div we want.
.link {position: relative;}
.linkTo {position: absolute; top: -80px;}
The problem with this, is that for some reason now my div is behind everything on the page. I can still see it but the text and images are in front.
I've tried adding z-index to my header (of like 9999) but it isn't working. I don't understand why adding position relative would mess up the order of how things are displayed.
I'd like to provide an example, but my code is rather large. If this isn't enough I can try to make a jfiddle later.
Add position: relative; z-index:9999 to the parent element it will keep this element stick inside the menu.
As Ganesh said, adding position: relative to the parent element of the header was the starting step. After that adding z-index to the same parent element fixed the problem completely.
Check for a lower z-index on a parent element, it appears to override the z-index of children.
I've run into z-index issues in the past with drop down menus and jquery UI tabs. I thought it had something to do with the stacking effects created us rules like opacity or transition, but for me the problem was a parent element having a lower z-index than a child element.
I have an HTML code with an error at some point that I cannot detect. Here is my JSFiddle.
In particular, when I move on "Show more", an absolute positioned div with highest z-index should be shown on top of everything. However, as you may see the first absolute positioned div is shown under other content.
As provided in answers from similar questions, I already set a z-index value and the position type (absolute or relative) for each container of the div.
Any idea to solve this problem?
Thanks to Ghost Answer comment, I solved the problem.
In other answers I read that one should put an increasing z-index value as well a position:relative to all the containers of a div that one would show on hover. Maybe it isn't always true.
Here is what I did:
I removed all the z-index values and unnecessary positioning (I suppose the latter is not meaningful).
I set z-index:auto to the container of the div that I would to show on hover.
Now the code works fine: this is the updated JSFiddle.
try this css
.offer-info-shops span
position:absolute;
z-index:1000;
JSFIDDLE
Interesting problem.
Change the following z-indices: .offer-content, .offer-content-info-shops{z-index:auto}
.detail-modal-window{z-index:1}
http://jsfiddle.net/gteEg/12/
By doing this, all the elements have their z-indices compared against each other.
The issue you had was because since you assigned a z-index to offer-content, and .offer-content-info-shops, you had created a stack context, meaning that child elements of .offer-content-info such as .detail-modal-window had their z-index compared to its siblings in .offer-content-info-shops.

I must be a little bit foggy still on how z-index works because I have this jsFiddle and I can't seem to reorder some elements the way I need to. I want the red box to appear behind the text. Can someone explain how I can do this?
jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/sightofnick/u2pa4/
The z-index is not in pixels, it's just an integer. Rather than z-index:10px, try z-index:10. Note also that this only applies to positioned elements, meaning those elements that have been set to either absolute or relative.
You have to use position:absolute | relative for the nav too
see this http://jsfiddle.net/u2pa4/4/
The nav works the same in every browser i've tested on a mac and pc; however, I cant for the life of me figure out why in IE7 the nav is appearing under the content in the main content block. Check out http://obs4.dynapp.net/ to see the problem, it only exist in IE7. Check out the source if your interested in helping out with the problem. I dunno, I've spent hours staring at html/css and cant figure anything out.

This is a seriously annoying IE7 bug. It occurs because positioned elements later in the DOM will be given priority over those earlier in the DOM, regardless of z-index status.
This article will explain how to fix it: http://thedesignspace.net/MT2archives/000763.html
Basically, add position and z-index to the least common ancestor. So, if your header and content are both contained in a container, add position and z-index to that container. If they're direct children of the body, add it to the body.
Hope that helps.
z-indexing is weird with IE7. You have position: absolute for your nav. You have position: relative for your content. Yes, z-indexing should work where your position doesn't matter, but IE7 will take that into affect and give you two different "stacks" for z-indexes so absolute and relative positioned elements do not interact with each other. Try giving your nav a position: relative instead and then readjusting your css accordingly.
