# How to bring an element to the Front using CSS

To bring an element to the front using CSS:

Set the element’s z-index CSS property to 1 .
Set the element’s position CSS property to relative .
The z-index property only applies to positioned elements.

Copied!
DOCTYPE html> html lang="en"> head> meta charset="UTF-8" /> head> style> .box-1  height: 200px; width: 300px; background-color: lightsalmon; position: absolute; z-index: 3; > .box-2  height: 100px; width: 500px; background-color: lightgreen; position: absolute; z-index: 2; > .banner-img  height: 120px; width: 250px; position: relative; z-index: 1; > style> body> div class="box-1">BOX 1div> div class="box-2">BOX 2div> img src="https://bobbyhadz.com/images/blog/what-aws-cdk-bootstrap-do/thumbnail.webp" alt="banner" class="banner-img" /> body> html>

Notice that the image is positioned in front of the 2 div elements.

Copied!
.banner-img  height: 120px; width: 250px; position: relative; z-index: 1; >

The z-index CSS property sets the z-order of a positioned element and its descendants or flex items.

Overlapping elements with a higher z-index cover those with a smaller one.

So if the div elements have a z-index of 1 , the img element has to have a z-index of at least two to be shown in front of the divs.

Copied!
.box-1  height: 200px; width: 300px; background-color: lightsalmon; position: absolute; /* has a z-index of 1 */ z-index: 1; > .box-2  height: 100px; width: 300px; background-color: lightgreen; position: absolute; /* has a z-index of 1 */ z-index: 1; > .banner-img  height: 120px; width: 250px; position: relative; /* z-index set to 2 */ z-index: 2; >

Setting the position CSS property on the img element to relative is important because the element has to be positioned for the z-index CSS property to take effect.

The relative position means that the element is positioned according to the normal flow of the document.

Other values for the position CSS property include: absolute , relative , fixed and sticky .

There is also a static value which is the default and should not be used when setting the z-index CSS property.

The z-index CSS property only affects elements that have a position value other than static or are flex items.

Some things to note about the z-index CSS property:

A z-index can be set to a negative integer value, e.g. -1 .
The default z-index value for an element is set to 0 .
Overlapping elements with a higher z-index cover those with a smaller one.
An element with a negative z-index value appears behind elements without a set z-index value because the default is 0 .

If I set the z-index of one of the boxes to a higher value than the z-index of the image, the corresponding div appears in front of the image.

Copied!
.box-1  height: 200px; width: 300px; background-color: lightsalmon; position: absolute; /* display box-1 in front of the image */ z-index: 3; > .box-2  height: 100px; width: 500px; background-color: lightgreen; position: absolute; > .banner-img  height: 120px; width: 250px; position: relative; z-index: 2; >

I can also move the image behind the boxes by setting its z-index to a negative value, e.g. -1 .

Copied!
.box-1  height: 200px; width: 300px; background-color: lightsalmon; position: absolute; > .box-2  height: 100px; width: 500px; background-color: lightgreen; position: absolute; > .banner-img  height: 120px; width: 250px; position: relative; /* hide image behind div elements */ z-index: -1; >

This approach can also be used to bring an element to the front.

You can set a z-index of -1 on the overlapping elements and they will be moved to the back.

# In some cases, you might have to use a very high z-index value

In some cases, you might have to use a very high z-index value to bring an element to the front.

For example, if you use a third-party CSS library that has set a high z-index on an element, you have to use a higher value to move an element to the front.

To view the z-index of an element:

Make sure the Elements tab is selected and click on Computed.
View the z-index of the element.

The z-index of the element in the example is 9998 , so I have to use a z-index of at least 9999 to move another element in front of it.

Copied!
DOCTYPE html> html lang="en"> head> meta charset="UTF-8" /> head> style> .box-1  height: 200px; width: 300px; background-color: lightsalmon; position: absolute; z-index: 9998; > .box-2  height: 100px; width: 500px; background-color: lightgreen; position: absolute; > .banner-img  height: 120px; width: 250px; position: relative; z-index: 9999; > style> body> div class="box-1">BOX 1div> div class="box-2">BOX 2div> img src="https://bobbyhadz.com/images/blog/what-aws-cdk-bootstrap-do/thumbnail.webp" alt="banner" class="banner-img" /> body> html>

The img element in the example has a higher z-index value than the div , so it is positioned in front of it.

In some cases, you might have to overwrite the z-index of an element that has its z-index property set inline.

If you don’t have access to the inline style, you have to use the !important flag.

Copied!
DOCTYPE html> html lang="en"> head> meta charset="UTF-8" /> head> style> .box-1  height: 200px; width: 300px; background-color: lightsalmon; position: absolute; > .box-2  height: 100px; width: 500px; background-color: lightgreen; position: absolute; > .banner-img  height: 120px; width: 250px; position: relative; z-index: 9999 !important; > style> body> div class="box-1">BOX 1div> div class="box-2">BOX 2div> img src="https://bobbyhadz.com/images/blog/what-aws-cdk-bootstrap-do/thumbnail.webp" alt="banner" class="banner-img" style="z-index: -100" /> body> html>

Notice that the img element has its z-index CSS property set to -100 inline.

Copied!
img src="https://bobbyhadz.com/images/blog/what-aws-cdk-bootstrap-do/thumbnail.webp" alt="banner" class="banner-img" style="z-index: -100" />

Inline styles have higher precedence than global styles, so in order to overwrite the element’s z-index , I used the !important flag.

Copied!
.banner-img  height: 120px; width: 250px; position: relative; z-index: 9999 !important; >

# You can also set the z-index property on flex items

As previously noted, the z-index CSS property only affects elements that have a position value other than static or are flex items.

Flex items are the direct children of an element that has display set to flex or inline-flex .

Here is an example of how you can move the img element to the front without setting its position CSS property.

Copied!
DOCTYPE html> html lang="en"> head> meta charset="UTF-8" /> head> style> .container  display: flex; > .box-1  height: 200px; width: 300px; background-color: lightsalmon; position: absolute; > .box-2  height: 100px; width: 500px; background-color: lightgreen; position: absolute; > .banner-img  height: 120px; width: 250px; z-index: 1; > style> body> div class="container"> div class="box-1">BOX 1div> div class="box-2">BOX 2div> img src="https://bobbyhadz.com/images/blog/what-aws-cdk-bootstrap-do/thumbnail.webp" alt="banner" class="banner-img" /> div> body> html>

We directly set the z-index CSS property on the img element and it moved the image to the front.

Copied!
.banner-img  height: 120px; width: 250px; z-index: 1; >

Notice that we didn’t set the position property on the element.

This worked because the direct parent of the image has its display property set to flex .

Copied!
.container  display: flex; >
