  • Changing div layer

    From Andrew Poulos@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jun 14 19:00:42 2020
    Say I have a number (tens) of DIV elements. Each has a size and a
    position but no nominated z-index. There are on screen buttons which correspondingly show/hide each DIV.

    If all the DIVs start off hidden is there a way to make the last
    revealed DIV the top most?

    Ideally I'd like stack order of the other revealed DIVs not to change.
    So with these hidden DIVS

    A B C D E F G H I...

    if C is revealed then D is, as the only visible DIV, the highest
    then if A is revealed, A becomes the highest
    and then if H is revealed, E becomes the highest but A will still be
    higher than D.

    I guess it's a bit like shuffling a deck of cards, in that pulling a
    card from the deck and putting it on top doesn't change the relative
    order of the other cards.

    javascript … move element to the end of it's parent.

    Nice!

    I was playing with giving each element a tabindex, outline: none; and
    then setting ...:focus { z-index:1 } but the elements drop back to their original position.
