I have a dropdown with absolut positioning being covered by the following element. I have limited access to the HTML but can change the CSS.
I want the dropdown div.esri-menu to cover the div.row-2 column-1. How can I achieve this by changing the CSS Code?
I have tried different positioning values and using the z-index, but did not succeed.
Dropdown
Covering Div
div.esri-menu has a position: absolute but it's related to the closest parent with a position different than 'static'. Which container is that?
On the other hand div.esri-menu and div.row-2.column-1 belong to different containers.
The answer is about positioning the two containers div.row-1.column-1-3 and div.row-2.column-1.
Try giving div.row-1.column-1-3 a 'relative' position. That should help.

on this webpage Voting System I have lunch pictures when you move mouse cursor over camera icon. Span which contains image have z-index 1000, tables have z-index 1, but images are showing under tables. Can you help me please? What's going wrong?
All your tables have z-index 1, therefore they are at the same level and source order will determine which tables get on top of the other if they ever get to overlap.
You're pictures may have a superior z-index, but they are contained by your table.
z-indexes are not global, they apply to a "stacking context". Everytime you add a z-index to an element (and some other css properties too, like opacity or transform in your case) this element create it's own stacking context for the children it contains.
You are going to have to use different positioning. For example:
imageclass{
position:absolute;
}
If you do not do that then your elements are positioned relative to the their parent element.
Please include your code if this does not work as just looking at a web page is not enough to fully diagnose a problem.

I need to put a <canvas> element on the top of a <video> element in order to draw something on my video. I can do this by setting the position of theses two elements to "absolute" but I lose the responsive behavior. With foundation is it possible to make these two elements seen as one and move the same way when the DOM layout changes, for example when resizing the window ?
Normally the parent element of the and the needs to have position: relative in order for their absolute positioning to be calculated relative to their parent rather than relative to the page.
I'm trying to improve my css a little, specifically use of z-index to overlap elements and change stack order. I created this fiddle but when I change the values of the z-index, the layers stay the same. I can't get z-index to do anything.

Without using a z-index, a div inside of another div always appeared on top. I tried to put it underneath the container div using z-index but with no luck. So then I thought maybe divs that are inside of each other can't have their stack order changed, so I made another div outside of those but couldn't change it's stack order either
This doesn't work as the z-index of an element is inherited from its parent. To get this to work, you'll have "de-child" the elements:
<div id="green"></div>
<div id="black"></div>
<div id="pink"></div>
And also z-index needs to have a position also, but you have that.
Divs that overlap need to be at the same level as each other. Check this fiddle out:

I've created an "other" div at the same level as the pink one. You can try to swap their z-indexes.
First off, please let me say I'm pretty new to CSS. Still lots to learn! I'm working on a site at https://web.archive.org/web/20130709112702/http://www.thesweet-spot.com/test77
Everything is working great, EXCEPT that the main content box is being placed under the fixed-position logo instead of over it, even though the z-index on the logo is lower than the z-index on the content box. What can you geniuses tell me?
There's actually two reasons:
Its parent is set to show up behind the logo. Any z-index applied to elements within that parent element will only apply to other elements within that parent. All the elements within the parent will be stacked accordingly, then that entire element will be put behind the logo as specified by its stack order.
A z-index only applies to elements with position of absolute, fixed, or relative. It does not apply to elements with static position.
It is constrained by the parent container's z-index. You cannot set a child to a higher z-index than the parent; it caps at the parent's value.
You could make the stripes a background of the body tag and then set the container to have no background. Once that is done set container to a higher z-index.`
I have a div which I have set to absolute position and z-index above all the other divs on the page. The issue I'm having is where the absolute position div sits is above some divs that are interactive with the users mouse. Is there a way to turn off the interactive state of the absolute positioned div so the divs below are active.
Absolutely positioned elements use the z-index for stacking - which explains why content below is inaccessible. It is, unfortunately, not a case of interactive states, but simply of obstruction.
Any absolutely positioned block elements will obscure elements set below them as far as the dimensions of the uppermost element stretch (set a border on the div to see exactly how far the obstruction is occurring).
Your best bet (within the bounds of css) is to either position the obscuring div below where you need interactivity, or to add the properties of the obscuring div directly to the div being
obscured.
EDIT: i.e. there is no property in CSS to turn an interactive state on or off.
