z-indexSet the z-index of an HTML element. The HTML element with the largest z-index will appear on top of those with a smaller z-index. z-index is useful for when using positioning and for resolving positioning conflicts. Value | Description | whole-number | Use whole numbers to define the z-index. Larger z-index values will appear on top of layers with smaller z-index values. |
Code:h4{ position: relative;
top: 30px;
left: 50px;
z-index: 2;
background-color: #336699;}
p { position: relative;
z-index: 1;
background-color: #FFCCCC;} Display:Header Z-Index = 2
You probably can't read this part, so I will fill it in with useless text for the time being. This paragraph has a z-index of 1, which is less than
the header. As you can see, the header has been moved down, using positioning, and is now resting on top of this paragraph. If we had not defined the z-index, by default the paragraph would have been on top of the header because it appears later in our HTML code. |
