How to Make Div Appear in Front of Another

How to make div appear in front of another?

Use the CSS z-index property. Elements with a greater z-index value are positioned in front of elements with smaller z-index values.

Note that for this to work, you also need to set a position style (position:absolute, position:relative, or position:fixed) on both/all of the elements you want to order.

Display div in front of everything else?

As long as the red and green divs have the same z-index, any higher z-indices within them don't actually make any difference. So you could simply give the red div a higher z-index than the green—as long as this order will reliably remain the same.

There's some useful info on z-index stacking contexts here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/CSS/Understanding_z_index/The_stacking_context

Each stacking context is self-contained: after the element's contents are stacked, the whole element is considered in the stacking order of the parent stacking context.

How to make a <div> appear in front of regular text/tables

You can use the stacking index of the div to make it appear on top of anything else. Make it a larger value that other elements and it well be on top of others.

use z-index property. See Specifying the stack level: the 'z-index' property and

Elaborate description of Stacking Contexts

Something like

#divOnTop { z-index: 1000; }

<div id="divOnTop">I am on top</div>

What you have to look out for will be IE6. In IE 6 some elements like <select> will be placed on top of an element with z-index value higher than the <select>. You can have a workaround for this by placing an <iframe> behind the div.

See this Internet Explorer z-index bug?

How to make a Div appear on top of everything else on the screen?

z-index is not that simple friend. It doesn't actually matter if you put z-index:999999999999..... But it matters WHEN you gave it that z-index. Different dom-elements take precedence over each other as well.

I did one solution where I used jQuery to modify the elements css, and gave it the z-index only when I needed the element to be on top. That way we can be sure that the z-index of this item has been given last and the index will be noted. This one requires some action to be handled though, but in your case it seems to be possible.

Not sure if this works, but you could try giving the !important parameter too:

#desired_element { z-index: 99 !important; }

Edit: Adding a quote from the link for quick clarification:

First of all, z-index only works on positioned elements. If you try to set a z-index on an element with no position specified, it will do nothing. Secondly, z-index values can create stacking contexts, and now suddenly what seemed simple just got a lot more complicated.

Adding the z-index for the element via jQuery, gives the element different stacking context, and thus it tends to work. I do not recommend this, but try to keep the html and css in a such order that all elements are predictable.

The provided link is a must read. Stacking order etc. of html elements was something I was not aware as a newbie coder and that article cleared it for me pretty good.
