CSS Position Div Over Another Div - css

Question

I have two divs that I am trying to stack over each other but the one I want on top is not showing. I want the blue background div to lay on top of the red background div. Any advice? The reason why I want to overlay the blue div is because the container is a centered grid and I want the red div to be the background for the first half of the page.
JSFIDDLE
CSS
.buddy {
width: 50%;
height: 629px;
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
background: red;
}
.buddy-content {
position: absolute;
top: -629px;
z-index: 10;
background: blue;
}
.container {
max-width: 1000px;
margin: 0 auto;
overflow:hidden;
position:relative;
padding: 0 10px;}

Answer 1

You have made the second div absolute so you don't need to give the negative value for top. The second div is hiding because you top -629px; Try making the top:0 and see. And also for your current code. Remove the overflow hidden and put z-index like this:
.buddy {
width: 50%;
height: 629px;
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
z-index:9;
background: red;
}
.buddy-content {
position: absolute;
top: -629px;
z-index: 10;
background: blue;
}
.container {
max-width: 1000px;
margin: 0 auto;
width:200px;
height:200px;
position:relative;
padding: 0 10px;
}

.buddy {
width: 50%;
height: 629px;
display: inline-block;
position: absolute;
background: red;
}
.buddy-content {
position: absolute;
z-index: 10;
background: blue;
}
<div class="buddy BlueGradient">
</div>
<div class="container">
<div class="buddy-content">
ROGER
</div>
</div>

just add z-index : higher to the div that you want to show on top and set z-index low to the other one ..
ant one thing your code is working good just you need to remove " top : -629px;"
that thing is not allowing blue div to be on top just it is showing at the -629 px position..!!!!

Answer 3

If you can update your code like this, it may solve the issue:
Demo:https://jsfiddle.net/kt77cp3e/7/
CSS:
html, body {
height:100%;
width:100%:
}
.container {
width:50%;
height:100%;
background:red;
position:relative;
}
.container>div {
position:relative;
left:0;
right:0;
}
.container>div:first-child {
top:0;
height:50%;
background:blue
}
.container>div:last-child {
bottom:0;
height:50%;
background:green
}
HTML:
<div class="container">
<div></div>
<div></div>
</div>
Update: Considering the latest updated code, I think you should remove overflow:hidden from the container styles. That should do the trick
You should set the dimension on the .container div.
CSS:
.container {
position:relative;
width:100px; //You may modify these values
height:100px
}

Answer 4

.buddy { width: 50%; height: 629px; display: inline-block; position: relative; background: red;}
.buddy-content { position: absolute; top: 0px; z-index: 10; background: blue; }
.container {max-width: 1000px; margin: 0 auto; overflow:hidden; position:relative; padding: 0 10px; position: relative;}
<div class="container">
<div class="buddy BlueGradient">
<div class="buddy-content">ROGER</div>
</div>
</div>
This brings the text "Roger" with blue background on top of the red background
