I need to order the contents of a bxslider with a no-child element. between the image and the text over the top.
e.g
I would try something along the lines of:
li img{
position:relative;
z-index:-99999;
}
li span{
position:relative;
z-index:99999;
}
.under-text-over-image{
position:relative;
z-index:11111;
}
something along these lines, usually works for me when using z-index.
Hope this helps you.
This is an old question but the issue does come up quite a bit it seems. The issue isn't z-indexing:
You're most likely missing the image files
bx-wrapper .bx-prev {
left: 10px;
background: url(images/controls.png) no-repeat 0 -32px;
}
A quick check
.bx-wrapper .bx-controls-direction a {
background-color: blue;
}
Once you do this you'll see that the controls are there.
My late reply... BXSlider has zIndexing within the JS (read more here: http://bxslider.com/docs/jquery.bxslider.html). The best way I have found to get around the flicker in any slide, whatever direction it appears in is if you nest your content inside the <ul>
within another <div>
. In my experiments, this seems to cause no distracting reordering of the visible or unwanted invisible layers.
Here's an example for your slides:
<ul class="bxslider">
<li>
<div style="position:absolute;z-index:88888;">
... this content will be above everything else ...
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div style="position:absolute;z-index:88888;">
... this content will be also be above ...
</div>
</li>
</ul>
Note: z-index needs a position declaration to work at all.
