Z-index on a absolute container in a fixed containter
0
enter image description here
enter image description here
header{
position:fixed;
top:0;
left:0;
background-color: $color;
width: $width;
height: 56px;
}
.utility{
@include lockPosition(10px);
right:10px;
width:700px;
height:20px;
padding-top:10px;
z-index:1000;
position:absolute;
}
I find that only absolute position fixes the z-index issue I am having but I want the header to be fixed so it does scroll. Is there a way to have a absolute position in a fixed element and not effect the z-index?

What's @include lockPosition, is that a mixin?

yea, I just noticed I have position set to absolute twice, but that doesn't matter: `@mixin lockPosition($topMargin:100%){ position:absolute; top:$topMargin; }'

Just wondering why do you use float right on the .utility?

Maybe it be easier if i'll be able to see how you want the layout to look like

I think the easiest way is to push down the box with absolute position, i guess on .utility,
.utility{top: npx}
As for your question, the importances of the z-index is depending on how you lays the HTML DOM, so for example if your
<header>Your fixed position</header>
<main>
<nav>Your absolute position</nav>
</main>
with your fixed position z-index will be much more important than your
Hope that helps,

it doesn't seem to be working. I have changed the header to fixed and .utility(child element) to absolute.
– Joseph Marini
Nov 23 '18 at 3:35
Did you add top: xx px on the absolute? or margin-top: xx px on the absolute element?
– Amy Lee
Nov 23 '18 at 3:37
So .utility is inside the <header> ?
– Amy Lee
Nov 23 '18 at 3:38
If it is i think you should place it outside the header, cause position fixed isn't the same as relative
– Amy Lee
Nov 23 '18 at 3:39
.utility{ position:absolute; right:10px; width:700px; height:20px; padding-top:10px; z-index:1000; top: 0px; } doesn't work
