CSS Z-index
An element’s stack order is specified by its z-index property.
The z-index Property
Elements may overlap one another depending on their positioning.
An element’s stack order—which element should be positioned in front of or behind the others—is indicated by its z-index property.
Positive or negative stack order can be assigned to an element:
------image mukvo---------
Example
img {
position: absolute;
left: 0px;
top: 0px;
z-index: -1;
}
Another z-index Example
Example
Here we see that an element with greater stack order is always above an element with a lower stack order:
<html>
<head>
<style>
.container {
position: relative;
}
.black-box {
position: relative;
z-index: 1;
border: 2px solid black;
height: 100px;
margin: 30px;
}
.gray-box {
position: absolute;
z-index: 3;
background: lightgray;
height: 60px;
width: 70%;
left: 50px;
top: 50px;
}
.green-box {
position: absolute;
z-index: 2;
background: lightgreen;
width: 35%;
left: 270px;
top: -15px;
height: 100px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<div class="black-box">Black box</div>
<div class="gray-box">Gray box</div>
<div class="green-box">Green box</div>
</div>
<script>class RocketElementorAnimation{constructor(){this.deviceMode=document.createElement("span"),this.deviceMode.id="elementor-device-mode",this.deviceMode.setAttribute("class","elementor-screen-only"),document.body.appendChild(this.deviceMode)}_detectAnimations(){let t=getComputedStyle(this.deviceMode,":after").content.replace(/"/g,"");this.animationSettingKeys=this._listAnimationSettingsKeys(t),document.querySelectorAll(".elementor-invisible[data-settings]").forEach(t=>{const e=t.getBoundingClientRect();if(e.bottom>=0&&e.top<=window.innerHeight)try{this._animateElement(t)}catch(t){}})}_animateElement(t){const e=JSON.parse(t.dataset.settings),i=e._animation_delay||e.animation_delay||0,n=e[this.animationSettingKeys.find(t=>e[t])];if("none"===n)return void t.classList.remove("elementor-invisible");t.classList.remove(n),this.currentAnimation&&t.classList.remove(this.currentAnimation),this.currentAnimation=n;let s=setTimeout(()=>{t.classList.remove("elementor-invisible"),t.classList.add("animated",n),this._removeAnimationSettings(t,e)},i);window.addEventListener("rocket-startLoading",function(){clearTimeout(s)})}_listAnimationSettingsKeys(t="mobile"){const e=[""];switch(t){case"mobile":e.unshift("_mobile");case"tablet":e.unshift("_tablet");case"desktop":e.unshift("_desktop")}const i=[];return["animation","_animation"].forEach(t=>{e.forEach(e=>{i.push(t+e)})}),i}_removeAnimationSettings(t,e){this._listAnimationSettingsKeys().forEach(t=>delete e[t]),t.dataset.settings=JSON.stringify(e)}static run(){const t=new RocketElementorAnimation;requestAnimationFrame(t._detectAnimations.bind(t))}}document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded",RocketElementorAnimation.run);</script></body>
</html>
Without z-index
Without a z-index given, the element defined last in the HTML code will appear on top when two positioned elements overlap each other.
Example
Same example as above, but here with no z-index specified:
<html>
<head>
<style>
.container {
position: relative;
}
.black-box {
position: relative;
border: 2px solid black;
height: 100px;
margin: 30px;
}
.gray-box {
position: absolute;
background: lightgray;
height: 60px;
width: 70%;
left: 50px;
top: 50px;
}
.green-box {
position: absolute;
background: lightgreen;
width: 35%;
left: 270px;
top: -15px;
height: 100px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<div class="black-box">Black box</div>
<div class="gray-box">Gray box</div>
<div class="green-box">Green box</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
