Am using coda_bubble jquery plugin, and i need to make my bubble pop out within an overflow hidden div. here is my sample code.
<
The z-index
property ONLY work in elements that have position
option set to absolute
or relative
.
In other words you ALWAYS need positon
to work with z-index
.
The z-index property applies to those elements having position set to absolute. Try this css instead:
.coda_bubble{
position:absolute;
z-index:100;/****NOT WORKING*******/
}
You can't. overflow: hidden; Hides content outside the element. Period.
z-index applies to absolute AND relatively positioned elements, just differently, despite what someone else said.
EDIT You could put some padding-top on that particular div, if you can live with that padding, that is. The div would need to be a little wider, too.
EDIT 2 As others have stated, though position: relative; and position: absolute; are probably more common, yes, z-index works with position: fixed; also, just not for position: static; I overlooked those.
I assume you don't need .coda_bubble to be a child of .overflow. If not then move it out and create a positioning div to hold both children.

I would calculate the offset position from the window, remove it from its parent and attach it to the body.
Eg:
var left, top;
left = jQuery(element).offset().left;
top = jQuery(element).offset().top;
jQuery(element)
.appendTo('body')
.css({
'position': 'absolute',
'left': left + 'px',
'top': top + 'px'
});
Just a correction: z-index
applies to position: relative
, position:absolute
AND position:fixed
.
To answer the original question - there's no way in CSS to make a child of an overflow: hidden
element show it's contents outside the parent borders, you must change the hierarchy.
