Is there any replacement for z-index?
My code is too long, thus I will briefly explain my code in text form:
My website layout is (from top to bottom):
Banner
Menu Bar
Content
Footer
In 1 of the menus, I added a SlideDown (using jquery) effect when rollover to display to submenus.
I have 5 images, right below the menu bar, => <div id='images'>. Each image under <li class="thumb">
My problem: When I roll over the menu, the submenus are behind the images. I tried all methods, debug with firebu, tested on all popular browsers, IE,FF,Chrome,Opera and Safari, none of them works. I set z-index and position: relative / absolute, but no luck.
Is there any others way to display my submenus in front of the images?
Please help
EDIT:
Hi Guys,
I fixed the problem. But its weird, and I dont understand why.
the initial css of submenu:
#submenu{
...
z-index: 500;
position: relative;
...
}
After I change the z-index value to 1000, it works now. I dont understand why though. The z-index for the image is -100, before and after I fixed the problems. Is there any specific reason why the value 500 does not work, while 1000 can work? I didnt use z-index on others elements(rest of the page). (Maybe I should open a new question for this). Anyway, sorry for posting this useless question here, any kind-heart soul, could you please close this thread/question?
It's hard to tell how you've laid out your page but here's a suggestion.
Try the following:
<div id="banner"><!--banner contents--></div>
<div id="menu"><!--menu contents--></div>
<div id="content"><!--main contents--></div>
<div id="footer"><!--footer contents--></div>
Then in css you want:
div#menu {
position: relative;
z-index: 10;
}
I don't like to use this many div's when making a website, but its the easiest way of getting my message across. Let me know how it goes.

Only on chrome, the left sidebar menu disappears on hover. This does not happen at the top of the page but can be seen when scrolled midway of the page.

I figured out myself and was tired of people positing unrelated replies to make a fiddle out of a Joomla php based page with fontawesome icons, bootstrap, jquery and more and even better my css gets created by less. It was really a complicated 3 level menu system and people just said fiddle it without even looking at the example and screenshot. It could be possible to create a fiddle but would take a whole day for me ( I am not an expert, if so I would not ask the question here in the first place)
If you dont want to answer, that is perfectly fine and understandable but dont just say - This is no good without a fiddle when a demo and screenshot has been posted. Just move on - Be nice - everyone is fighting a hard battle here.
For anyone who is trying to make a 3 level menu, here is the answer.
The idea is to remove overflow property because that in conjunction with fixed position breaks in Chrome. Its a well known bug and has been reported. With overflow hidden removed, the next steps is to push the menu list items to the left. This makes the menu disappear but then used margin to push the icons only to the right. In short, move menu items to left so they are hidden and move icon only to the right. Remove overflow declarations in css as it breaks chrome.
.tm-sidebar .uk-navbar-nav li {margin-left: -175px;}
.tm-sidebar .uk-navbar-nav li a i {margin-left: 175px;}
I'm having a tuff time centering the navigation of my website with the content body. I'd like the navigation to center with that instead of the browser because it looks like its a bit left of the content body and doesn't quite look right.
Is that possible. http://www.bryananthonylewis.com/ Just a simple blog with Twitter Bootstrap.
I think you're on the wrong track here..
a quick scan using chromeinspect shows me you use span8 offset 2 for your main content (the first element within your container element right beneath #modal-contact), and i think you're main content is a bit to the right and not the header to the left.
my quick fix:
remove the offset,
and get a css style on that content with:
float: none;
margin: 0 auto; /*replace 0 for top margin*/
putting a width to the container as Pankaj suggests might work too, although you might loose dynamic width changes provided by bootstrap this way... didnt check so i might be wrong on that part
update
another update to clarify
remove previous fix.
in the container element right beneath your #modal-contact add a wrapping div,
not at the top of your page like i think you did...
<div class="container">
<div class='row'>
<div class="span8 offset2">
blogcontent here
</div>
</div>
<div>
woops code tags were missing here
i get a feeling this should do the same thing.
and i also believe that the header needs the same fix. but i'm not 100% sure, so pls try and comment if it works or not. this update is based on the official docs
bootstrap documentation
if things don't work, forget about my suggestion and stick to what works
There is no problem with your header. Actually your content below is not centered and this is happening because of unwanted div with classes "span8 offset2 middle" right under div.container. Fix this by removing that div altogether and overriding .container in your css file by
.container {
width:777px;
}
an example of same edits inside web inspector of chrome
If you refer to the following screenshot:
You will see that everything is lining up perfectly except, the icon does not have a width that is calculated in the centering. You obviously want the icon TO have width.
So how can we do that?
Perhaps add something to the i tags like so:
i {
display: inline-block;
width: 14px;
height: 14px;
line-height: 14px;
vertical-align: text-top;
}
UPDATE:
The screenshot above points to the problem. After a media query, the site goes into tablet mode and the navigation is off. Now, back to work!
I have the following website: http://dev.driz.co.uk/phase/about.php
If you view the website in IE7 you will see that the drop-down menu in the top left does not appear above the main content area. This is because of the stupid IE7 z-index bug, however the normal fix of making the parent element have a high index to make it fix the child would not work in this instance as I need the parent header to sit under the main content...
Any ideas on how to fix this based on the layout structure I have? I've tried most of the IE fixes on the net, including a jquery solution that resets the z-indexes in a loop, but none of them have solved the problem.
You need to give your header a z-index less than your nav element.
IE7 is a pain with z-index, you need to habe a structure like this.
Header - z-index:2
Content - z-index:3
Nav - z-index:4
Along those lines, sorry I can't be more help.
I've found that when having problems with z-index in IE, that setting the elements you want to be affected by the z-index to have a relative position.
i.e.
#block {
z-index: 1;
position: relative;
}
I've been developing this site for a while and suddenly today I noticed that the horizontal scrollbar on my browser was showing and was allowing the site to be scrolled an inch or two to the right.
The whole site is only 960px wide and my screen resolution is 1680px so clearly it should fit with plenty of space.
The site still displays exactly the same but the scrollbar is annoying me. I've tried adding borders to everything using the * selector in CSS but nothing seems to be protruding that extra inch. I've also used the Google Chrome console to highlight different sections of the site but none of them are causing the problem.
Every browser shows the same problem, do you have any explanations?
This is the site in question: http://compressmycode.com/
remove the position:relative in your #body-wrapper style around line 31 of your CSS and use margin-top:50px instead of top:50px
if you must keep the position:relative you can also just apply an overflow:hidden to your wrapper to remove whatever overflow may be there, but there are some inherent dangers in doing so.
EDIT
Upon further inspection, I've discovered that your .right div is the issue. For some reason, its being floated to the right is causing your problems.
The problem comes form your JS. if you disable it, it works perfectly.
More precisely with the facebook button:
div#body-wrapper > div#site-title > div.right > div.fb-root > div
setting this to overflow: hidden, fixes the problem
I had a similar issue. There was nothing that seemed to exceed the width but still there was a scroll bar at the bottom.
My structure of page was:
<body>
<div id='appContainer'>
<div class='page'>
<div>All the content along with "Youtube video"
which meant there was
an iframe within my page,
some other stuff like *sharethis buttons,
Which meant i had to add a few scripts.</div>
<div>more stuff</div>
<div>more fancy stuff</div>
<div>some more stuff with shadows and floating elements</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
*sharethis: http://www.sharethis.com/#sthash.r7Bx1kDr.dpbs
I'm not sharing the CSS as there was nothing other than box-shadows at the outer levels and top-margin.
Although i'll share how the problem got fixed.
I gave the
<div class='page'></div>
css:
.page{
overflow: hidden;
}
This fixed the scroll issue for me.
Although the fix was just to find the right parent and give it the above CSS
I still would like to know the root cause for the scroll. Kindly share that knowledge if you have it.
I have following problem. I've integrated facebook send/like buttons to my website and when i click send, it overlaps with the underlying div.
Since I'm really no CSS guru, i would like that you point me in to a direction where i can find a solution for this problem.
Thank you
the problem is that the div with class box-center & div with class box have the css property overflow: hidden; so anything that's bigger then the div when is loaded will not be shown
but the problem if you remove that is that the box above will be messed up. But that can be resolved by adding (just before closing the div):
<div class="clear"></div>
and in css
.clear {clear:both}
