Custom Drop down Z-Index Issue - css

I have a bootstrap drop down on my modal dialog.
After clicking on drop down button drop down menu appears under form.
Is there any way to fix this issue, but without using "position:fixed",because by using fixed attribute I am facing with other issues.
<div id="dialog" title="Basic dialog" ng-show='showDialog'>
<div class="container">
<h2>Dropdown</h2>
<div class="dropdown">
<button class="btn btn-primary dropdown-toggle" type="button" data-toggle="dropdown">Dropdown Example
<span class="caret"></span></button>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li>AAAAAA</li>
<li>BBBBBB</li>
<li>CCCCCC</li>
<li>DDDDDD</li>
<li>EEEEEE</li>
<li>FFFFFF</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
See the dropdwon plnkr

The problem is that the dialog, wich is a div, efectively "contains" the dropdown and all it's contents, so the drowpdown stacking context is surrogated to it.
You can add this css rule to overcome your problem, but take it carefully so it doesn't have any side effects in other dialogs on your app:
<style>
.ui-dialog, #dialog, #container { overflow:visible; }
</style>
You also have a great article here explaining stacking contexts as Z-Index isn't what most people think...

How to display whole selected element when html page is in the most bottom position?

I am working project with ace-1.3-master template and try to instal button dropdown who I put in most the bottom on the page of HTML.
My problem is the button not display fully of it's content and user need to scrolling manually html page to see whole of the button content . how I can make it automaticly without scrolling.

Try use position:fixed; in your css button.
Example:
div#myDIV {
position:fixed;
width:100px;
height:100px;
background:red;
left:10px;
top:100px;
}
Finally I find the solution.

This is the solution
I create a function containing this command
$('html,body').animate({scrollTop: document.body.scrollHeight},"fast");
and then bind it to first level from my button element
my code look like this
<div class="btn-group">
<button class="btn btn-white btn-primary" >others</button>

function scrollToLowest(){
$('html,body').animate({scrollTop: document.body.scrollHeight},"fast");
}
</script>
Thanks.

NgbDropdown: remove dropdown arrow

I'm using the NgbDropdown component in my Angular 2 application. It is working fine, however I want to remove the arrow that is displayed on the right side of the button.
<div class="d-inline-block" ngbDropdown #myDrop="ngbDropdown">
<button class="btn btn-outline-primary" id="dropdownMenu1" ngbDropdownToggle>Toggle dropdown</button>
<div class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="dropdownMenu1">
<button class="dropdown-item">Action - 1</button>
<button class="dropdown-item">Another Action</button>
<button class="dropdown-item">Something else is here</button>
</div>
</div>
Dropdown Image
Solution
Simply add the following CSS style to override the default style of the .dropdown-toggle::after pseudo-element:
.dropdown-toggle::after {
display:none;
}
Why?
By default bootstrap adds the arrow to the dropdown component via the ::after pseudo-element.
Doing this removes it.
Here is a LIVE DEMO demonstrating it.
How do you work it out?
Using chrome dev tools you can inspect the element:
We can see from the above that there is a style set for a pseudo-element ::after on the .dropdown-toggle class. Let's go and change the properties of the element! For this purpose we are changing the display property to none:
The pseudo-element is no longer there!!:
add the following style to override the default one
.dropdown-toggle::after{
content:initial
}
LIVE DEMO
In Bootstrap 4, you can remove the dropdown arrow which is called caret by declaring a $enable-caret SASS variable and setting it to false:
$enable-caret: false;
This overrides the default value of true set in the Bootstrap's _variable.scss:
// Options
//
// Quickly modify global styling by enabling or disabling optional features.
$enable-caret: true !default;
But keep in mind that it completely removes corresponding CSS styles. So, it's the best approach if you don't need carets globally and want to decrease your CSS payload.
I found you can do this within your app on a conditional basis by creating a custom class in styles.css
Note that using "!important;" is required or else elements at the bottom of the screen will still have a caret that points upward:
.remove-caret::after {
display: none !important;
}
html example with the custom class and replacing the icon with an ellipsis:
<div style="margin: auto; text-align: center">
<ul class="navbar-nav" [style.display]="'flex'">
<li class="nav-item d-inline-block" ngbDropdown>
<a class="nav-link dropdown-toggle remove-caret" style="color:#000; font-size: 1.1rem" ngbDropdownToggle href="#" role="button" aria-haspopup="true"
aria-expanded="false"><fa-icon [icon]="faEllipsisH" class="ml-2"></fa-icon></a>
<div ngbDropdownMenu aria-labelled-by="menuDropDown">
<a ngbDropdownItem href="#" (click)="test()">Test</a>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</div>

overflowing navbar in bootstrap

I'm experimenting with Bootstrap 3.2. I'm trying to create a fixed at top navigation bar but I'm running into two problems:
The navigation bar overlaps the content below it.
The navigation bar seems to be going far off the screen to the right. This makes my button in the navigation bar not visible unless the window width is dragged to a smaller size.
For the first problem, I've followed the Bootstrap example tip by adding a class to my css file, including this file below the Bootstrap css file in the html document, and then referring to the class.
.navbar-height{
body{padding-top: 200px;}
}
<body class="navbar-height">
Though, this seems to do nothing (as you can see I specified the number really high hoping to see a dramatic change, which did not occur).
Here's my the navigation bar:
<header id="header-navigation">
<div id="nav-bar-container">
<nav id="nav-bar" class="navbar navbar-default navbar-fixed-top" role="navigation">
<div id="nav-item-container" class="container-fluid">
<div id="drop-down" class="navbar-header">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default navbar-btn navbar-toggle collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#user-dropdown">
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</button>
<div id="home-button" class="navbar-left">
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#"><img alt="Brand" src=""></img></a>
</div>
</div>
<div id="user-dropdown" class="navbar-collapse collapse">
<ul class="dropdown-menu" id="dropdown-items" role="menu">
<li>
<div class="list-group-item">
<div class="row-picture">
<img class="circle" src="" alt="icon"></img>
</div>
<div class="row-content">
<h4 class="list-group-item-heading">Placeholder</h4>
<p class="list-group-item-text">Placeholder</p>
</div>
<div class="list-group-seperator"></div>
</div>
</li>
<li><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-log-out"></span></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</nav>
</div>
</header>
As a quick break down of the above code, I have a <header> tag which will hold the navigation bar. Within this <header>, I have a containing <div> (id="nav-bar-container") which only purpose is to act as a container for the navigation bar (maybe I'll add something else to the header and want to keep the bar seperate). Then, I have the actual <nav> which has the appropriate classes (or so I think): "navbar navbar-default navbar-fixed-top". The next <div> (id="nav-item-container") holds the components of the navigation bar. The following <div> (id="drop-down") contains the button (which seems to disappear at full-screen) and a link with a "brand", which always seems to be visible. The last major <div> contains the "drop down" content for when the button is pressed.
My Question: why is my navigation bar overlapping the content below it and over extending to the right hiding the button?
Ok, first thing, you don't need the <header> tag, so feel free to remove that.
Second, from the Docs on navbar-fixed-top, you need to have padding:
body { padding-top: 70px; }
Notice you applied it to the heading style; that won't work. Apply it to the body and it works fine.
As far as the 2nd issue, I don't actually see any horizontal scrolling when I removed the
<header> tag, so I think that may have been causing an issue.
Checkout this Bootply example:
Bootply Example
To see what I mean. It's your code with the tag removed. Hope that helps!
Change..
.navbar-height{
body{padding-top: 200px;}
}
to..
body.navbar-height{
padding-top: 200px;
}
You want the padding on the body itself. This will push you body down 200px giving you a gutter at the top for your fixed navbar.
most likely you'd want to adjust this padding depending on the actual height of your navbar.
As for problem number two, where I believed the navigation bar to be overflowing off the screen to the right, was just a mistake in the layout of the code. I was grouping the button I wanted to display on the right with the brand in the "navbar-header". What this does is display the brand but use that button only on a mobile screen to hide or show its associated dropdown. That is why I was only seeing the button when I made the width smaller by dragging the window. To fix this problem I removed the button and placed it within the appropriate code block. So, my "navbar-header" now looks like this:
<div id="drop-down" class="navbar-header">
<div id="home-button" class="navbar-left">
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#"><img alt="Brand" src=""></img></a>
</div>
</div>
Now, next within the id="nav-item-container" parent div, I create a list of items (ul). This list contains the items within the navigation bar and has the classes "nav navbar-nav navbar-right". Each list item (li) within this list is an item within the navigation bar. Dropdown buttons and their contents must be contained within the same list item (li). Make sure the parenting list item to the dropdown elements contains the class "dropdown". Then, the button or link should have the "dropdown-toggle" class applied to it. And the dropdown items themselves (which too can be a list of items and often is) should have the class "dropdown-menu". For example:
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<link href="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.2.0/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<script src="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.2.0/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
<li class="dropdown">
<a class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" href="#">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-align-justify"></span>
</a>
<ul class="dropdown-menu" id="dropdown-items" role="menu">
<li>
<div class="list-group-item">
<div class="row-picture">
<img class="circle" src="" alt="icon"></img>
</div>
<div class="row-content">
<h4 class="list-group-item-heading">Placeholder</h4>
<p class="list-group-item-text">Placeholder</p>
</div>
<div class="list-group-seperator"></div>
</div>
</li>
<li><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-log-out"></span></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
Note, in the snippet I didn't include the parenting nav, div, or header so it may not work exactly how it should. Also, I figured the majority of this out on my own by referencing the Bootstrap component page, as well as, the Bootstrap material design page (a plugin to Bootstrap that gives everything the Google Material Design look and feel). So, I'm not sure if all the "rules" I stated are mandatory or if there are other ways to achieve this.
As for problem number one, I just made a silly mistake with the css and the two other answers provided correct ways of fixing it. All I had to do was fix the body css like so:
body{
padding-top: 200px;
}

Display image on top of bootstrap <nav>

I have a JSFiddle set up here showing what is currently happening: http://jsfiddle.net/YX7T6/1/
This is the code:
<nav class="navbar navbar-default">
<div class="container">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li>
CText
</li>
</ul>
<div class="pull-right">
<button class="btn btn-default btn-lg"> button1 </button>
<button class="btn btn-default btn-lg"> button2 </button>
</div>
</div>
</nav>
<div class="container">
<a href="#">
<img src="http://placekitten.com/g/150/150" class="img-thumbnail" style="margin-top:-130px">
</a>
</div>
I'm trying to get the image to show on top of the navigation not behind it as it is now. I've tried changing the z-index of the image to something higher but nothing has changed. What should I try next?
As the other answers mentioned, z-index only works on elements that have position. Applying z-index to an element that has no position will simply be ignored.
img {
position: relative;
z-index: 1;
}
Will make the browser recognize the z-index attribute, and place the image above the nav menu. In the future whenever you're having issues with z-index not being recognized, the first thing you should do is check whether the elements in question have position.
However, in this specific case, rather than messing with negative margins, it may be simpler to do:
img {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
}
Just add position like position:relative; to your element
if you plan to control it's z-index property
fiddle
Alternatively, use position: absolute on the img and skip the z-index stuff.

Bootstrap dropdownlist z-index displaying under modal window footer

I am having some styling problems with bootstrap.
I have a small modal window containing a dropdown. However I can't seem to get the dropdown to display over the footer of the window.
I have played with the zindex of the dropdown ensuring it was higher than the windows but no luck.
Can anyone suggest what I should be changing?
The html
<div class="modal hide fade" id="store-modal">
<div class="modal-header">
<h3 id="reward-title">Select Store</h3>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<p>
Please select the store you are working from
<div class="btn-group">
<a class="btn dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" href="#">Select<span class="caret"></span></a>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
#foreach (var model in Model)
{
<li>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => model.StoreName)
</li>
}
</ul>
</div>
</p>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
</div>
You just add a class having z-index as attribute having higher than model box footer.
For z-index to work, you also have to set position = relative, absolute, or fixed. Also putting z-index something like 5000 might help. (the modal may have z index higher than the 2000's.
so in your css i would add this:
.class-of-dropdown {
position: relative;
z-index: 5000;
}
.modal-body class has a overflow-y: auto property. You might need to change this to:
.modal-body {
overflow-y:visible;
}
If your setting the z-index of the drop down make sure it is positioned. Meaning it has either position:absolute, position:relative, or position:fixed.
