I have a div with position relative and z-index :-1. and I have placed <A> over that
div. But it seems <a> is not working when i give postion :relative to its parent. when change that
position to absolute it starts working. Could anybody tell me why this is happening.
I want that link to work and as far as possible need to keep its parent div
position :relative
and z-index:-1;
position:relative will make the z-index relative to the parent.

I was working on a site and have a parent element with position:relative that has child elements with position:absolute. What's strange to me is that with the positions I mentioned, the child elements seem to still recognize their parent and have scope within it.
heres a fiddle to demonstrate what happens.
This actually ended up working to my advantage, but I'd like understand what happens to cause this.
Absolutely positioned elements are placed in relation to the first positioned parent element. It is acting as it should.
if you look at the definition of position: absolute then it will make more sense.
absolute position: The element is positioned relative to its first positioned (not static) ancestor element
I am having a z-index issue. I have a couple of div that sit on top of each other, within them div there is some content which shows on mouseover. This content is currently being displayed behind the parent div.
The parent div have a z-index: 2 as they need to be displayed above there own parent.
<div class="activity-display"><!--parent div z-index: 2-->
Running<!--This is displayed on hover underneath its parent div, but gets hidden underneath the below activity-display-->
</div>
<div class="activity-display">
Running
</div>
I have tried adding a higher z-index to the anchor and this doesn't solve the issue
Any help would be greatly appreciated
When using the z-index property elements must be positioned. Change the a tag to position:absolute.
You should at least give the elements you want to work with z-index a relative position, because z-index doesn't works on a static position. So really any other than the default position works.
You also don't need to rearrange children or parents elements, because children elements will always be over the parent. In other words, a child element will always have a z-index + 1 relative to the parent.
Please make a fiddle, so that we can help.
Also, some points to keep in mind, z-index works for elements position absolute.
I have a 2-by-2 grid of images arranged using float property in CSS.
I want to show a small overlay on each image when i hover over it, by switching its opacity from 0 to 1 on hover. My code works great when i hover the images in the top row.
But when I hover over the lower-row images, the overlay activated is still the one from the top row.
I think its an issue with positioning.
My code is here : http://jsfiddle.net/zZXZX/27/
PS : please dont mind the minor faults with the design.
You are positioning your overlay in absolute, without specifying a relative parent.
http://jsfiddle.net/tomprogramming/zZXZX/28/
position:absolute positions your overlay with offsets relative to its first parent that is not position:static, or if none are found, the document root.
.movie{
display:block;
float:left;
position:relative;
}
You need to add position:relative to your .movie class. position:absolute looks for its closest parent item that is not static position.
Add position:relative to .movie.
I need #slides_ribbon_left and #slides_ribbon_right to put behind the #frame. I am wonder why z-indexes don't help! Here is the link - http://layot.prestatrend.com/
Could anybody help please?
#slides has z-index: 100 and #frame z-index: 0 and they're sibblings so any child elements of #slide will be above #frame. As far as I can see you'll need to change some html as well. The following link may help too: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Understanding_CSS_z-index/The_stacking_context
You need to use a relative, fixed, or absolute position on elements for z-index to take effect.
Just add position: relative to each element (or fixed or absolute, depending on what you want).
good people -
a js & css Q:
I have here a timeline, with an overlay. The positioning of the information-box that pops up is my problem.
http://dev.favouritesystems.com/appslist/
it has position absolute, and I wonder how I can get it relative to content not screen? geddit?
any hints appreciated.
Set the outer wrapper to relative, and keep the information-box as absolute. That way it will be absolute to the wrapper and not the body.
you need to add position:relative for your #wrapper then the popup will be positioned absolute according its parent
