I have a fixed position div (header), that has a child div with position absolute that I would like to be on top (in terms of z-index) of everything, but I cant seem to figure out how to do this. The child div with absolute position has a height greater than the header but does not extend over.
The fiddle is here.
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<body>
<div class="container">
<div class="header">
<div class="center">
<div id="pgSearch" class="search-box">
<div class="input-results">
<p>this should extend over the red part</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="content">
<div class="center">
<p>content</p>
</div>
</div>
</div><!--container-->
</body>
</html>
.container {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
padding-top: 89px;
position: relative;
z-index:10;
background:red;
}
.header {
position: fixed;
height: 89px;
display: block;
padding: 0 20px;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
right: 0px;
overflow-y: hidden;
background: green;
z-index: 500;
}
.search-box {
width:300px;
float:left;
position:relative;
z-index:501;
}
.search-box .input-results {
position: absolute;
top:10px;
left: 1px;
width:300px;
height:300px;
z-index:9999;
background: white;
}
What I want is for the white div (input-results) to be on top of everything, but instead it cuts off at the end of the header div which is fixed.
I'm losing my mind trying to figure this out.
You have:
overflow-y: hidden;
in .header
That means that any content that exceeds the height of .header will be cut off. Remove that property if you don't need it
You have the overflow-y on the .header set to hidden. This means the white area is being copped by the height of the .header . Change this to overflow-y:visible; and that should fix your problem.
