Margins and borders with a negative impact

I have a collection of images that I am trying to stack using negative margins. However, because stacking them without defined boundaries can lead to visual confusion, I thought about adding borders around each image. Surprisingly, while the images are stacking correctly, their borders end up appearing beneath the preceding element.

Why is this happening and is there a solution to make the borders display at the correct level?

#second {
  margin-top: -50px;
  margin-left: 20px;
}

img {
  border: 5px ridge green;
  display: block;
}
<div><img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1b/RCA_Indian_Head_test_pattern.JPG/312px-RCA_Indian_Head_test_pattern.JPG" height="100" width="auto"><img id="second" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1b/RCA_Indian_Head_test_pattern.JPG/312px-RCA_Indian_Head_test_pattern.JPG" height="100" width="auto"></div>

UPDATE: The issue looks like this on Firefox: https://i.sstatic.net/bCawq.png

Answer №1

In Chrome, the issue seems fine but in Firefox and IE, it appears. One possible fix is to adjust the position of the images by setting them to relative using CSS:

#second {
  margin-top: -50px;
  margin-left: 20px;
}

img {
  border: 5px ridge green;
  display: block;
  position: relative;
}
<div><img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1b/RCA_Indian_Head_test_pattern.JPG/312px-RCA_Indian_Head_test_pattern.JPG" height="100" width="auto"><img id="second" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1b/RCA_Indian_Head_test_pattern.JPG/312px-RCA_Indian_Head_test_pattern.JPG" height="100" width="auto"></div>

Answer №2

To ensure borders are displayed in Firefox, you can utilize the transform property:

https://i.sstatic.net/h5flv.jpg 

#second {
  margin-top: -50px;
  margin-left: 20px;
}

img {
  border: 5px ridge green;
  display: block;
}

/* For Firefox debugging*/
div + div img {
  transform:scale(1); /* Applying a redundant transformation forces a redraw of the layout */
}
div {
  float:left;
  margin:1em;
<div><img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1b/RCA_Indian_Head_test_pattern.JPG/312px-RCA_Indian_Head_test_pattern.JPG" height="100" width="auto"><img id="second" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1b/RCA_Indian_Head_test_pattern.JPG/312px-RCA_Indian_Head_test_pattern.JPG" height="100" width="auto"></div>
