Tailwind CSS Z-index

The z-{index} utility class in Tailwind CSS allows you to control the stacking order of elements using the CSS z-index property. With Tailwind's z-{index} class, you can easily specify the z-index value for an element to determine its vertical position in the stacking order.

Applying Tailwind Z index

To apply a specific z-index value to an element, you can use the tailwind z-{index} utility class, where {index} represents the desired z-index value. The range of z-index values in Tailwind CSS goes from -1 to 50, with higher values bringing elements closer to the front. Here's an example:

<div class="z-10">
  This element has a z-index value of 10.
</div>

In the above example, a <div> element is styled with the z-10 class, which sets the z-index value to 10.

Responsive Tailwind Z-index

Tailwind CSS allows you to apply z-index classes responsively at different breakpoints. To use responsive tailwind z index classes, you can append the breakpoint prefix to the utility class. For example, md:z-20 sets the z-index value to 20 starting from the medium breakpoint and above.

<div class="z-10 md:z-20">
  This element has a z-index value of 10 by default, but starting from the medium breakpoint and
  above, it changes to 20.
</div>

In the above example, the z-index of the <div> element is set to 10 by default (z-10), but starting from the medium breakpoint and above, it changes to 20 (md:z-20).
