I think LayeredPane is your best bet here. You would need a third panel though to contain A and B. This third panel would be the layeredPane and then panel A and B could still have a nice LayoutManagers. All you would have to do is center B over A and there is quite a … Read more
Because position: static means “Ignore all the positioning instructions from left, top, z-index, etc.”. ‘z-index’ Value: auto | <integer> | inherit Initial: auto Applies to: positioned elements — http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#z-index An element is said to be positioned if its ‘position’ property has a value other than ‘static’. — http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#positioned-element
All you need to do is use draggable({stack: “div”}) Now when you drag a div it will automatically come to the top. Check working example at http://jsfiddle.net/LQ4JT/8/
Setting the style.zIndex property has no effect on non-positioned elements, that is, the element must be either absolutely positioned, relatively positioned, or fixed. So I would try: $(this).parent().css(‘position’, ‘relative’); $(this).parent().css(‘z-index’, 3000);
I was trying to achieve something else but I needed a solution similar to this. I needed to draw an opaque layer covering the whole screen, even the action bar–sort of like a dialog. I did so this way: ViewGroup vg = (ViewGroup)(getWindow().getDecorView().getRootView()); vg.addView(myNewView, params); this can be used to draw anything anywhere on the … Read more
The CSS method to do this is pointer-events: none See: http://jsfiddle.net/LNwHV/1/ Browser support: http://caniuse.com/pointer-events (works everywhere except IE10 and older) To support old versions of IE, you’ll have to use JavaScript as a fallback.
You need to make a new element inside the div, with absolute positioning and height and width of 100%, then give that element the box shadow. div { height: 300px; color: red; position: relative; } div > div { box-shadow: inset 0 0 10px black; position: absolute; pointer-events: none; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; … Read more
The accepted answer is on the right track, but isn’t entirely true. For starters, the initial value of z-index is auto, not 0. When you assign an element z-index: 0 (or any other integer), you’re creating a new stacking context. z-index: auto does not create a stacking context. This is important because a parent with … Read more
This is not a bug and is actually how it’s supposed to work. It’s a bit confusing as the elaborate description of Stacking Contexts doesn’t mention anything about it. However, the visual formatting module links to the color module where this particular gotcha can be found (emphasis mine): Since an element with opacity less than … Read more
Note that z-index only affects positioned elements. Therefore, any element with position: static will not have a z-index, even if you assign it a value. This is especially true in browsers like Google Chrome. var index_highest = 0; // more effective to have a class for the div you want to search and // pass … Read more
