Use z-index value to order stacked elements

What is a z-index value

The z-index value controls the stack order of an element.

• Elements with a higher z-index value stack on top of those with a lower value.
• Child elements can only stack according to their parent element. (i.e., If element A has a higher z-index than element B, the children of element B will never overlap element A.)
• Z-index only works on relative, absolute, and fixed positioning.
• Default z-index value is 0.

Use a z-index value to stack elements

• Select a div block you'd like to position.
• Apply a z-index value (because the default z-index value is 0, anything greater than 0 will position an element on top).
• Higher values will stack on top of lower values.
• Negative values can cause elements to disappear.
