As a newcomer to html and css, I have successfully created a div that contains city names. The issue I am currently facing is when I click on a button to display the div, it gets hidden behind the next section of my page. Take a look at the image below for reference:
What I actually want is for the div to be displayed over the section below it, rather than hiding behind it. For a clearer idea of what I mean, you can visit askme.com and click on the 'rest of india' dropdown button. Here is the HTML code I am using:
<!--start SearchBox section-->
<section id="searchbox" style="background:white">
<div class="container" style="margin-top:0px;">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-12">
<form style="">
<center>
<div id="SearchBoxBorder" style="background:white;border-style:soli;border-radius:5px;margin-top:20px;width:800px;">
<table id="mytable" >
<td style="width:300px;background:white;">
<center> <div class="form-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="exampleInputEmail1" placeholder="I am looking for"
style="border-width:5px;background:white; margin-top:17px; margin-left:15px; margin-right:10px;width:300px;
border-style:solid;border-width:5px;border-color:#eee;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;height:42px; font-size:18px;">
</div></center>
</td>
<td style="width:50px ;text-align:right;background:white;"> <center><strong> in</strong></center> </td>
<td style="width:400px;background:white;">
<center>
<div class="input-group" style="position: relative;">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="in locality"
style="border-width:5px;background:white; margin-top:2px; margin-left:10px; margin-right:20px;width:;">
<div class="input-group-btn" >
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" id="dropdownBtn"
style="background:white;border-top-width:5px;border-right-width:5px;border-bottom-width:5px;border-left-width:1px;
border-color:#eee;height:42px;border-radius:0px;text-align:center;color:black; margin-right:20px;margin-top:2px;">Select<span class="caret"></span></button>
<!--City dropdown -->
<div class="SearchCities" id="dialog" title="Basic dialog" >
<div id="outer" style="">
<div id="innerLeft" style="">
<h5 >North India:</h5>
<ul class="city" type="none">
<li><a>Delhi</a></li>
<li><a>Agra</a></li>
<li><a>Shrinagar</a></li>
<li><a>Noida</a></li>
<li><a>Himachal</a></li>
<li><a>Patna</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="innerRight" style="">
<a class="close">×</a>
<h5>West India:</h5>
<ul class="city" type="none">
<li><a>Mumbai</a></li>
<li><a>Pune</a></li>
<li><a>Nashik</a></li>
<li><a>Kolhapur</a></li>
<li><a>Osmanabad</a></li>
<li><a>Ahamdabad</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div><<!--/outer-->
</div><<!--/SearchCities-->
</div><<!-- /btn-group -->
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" style="margin-right:20px;"><i class="icon-search" style="font-size:20px"></i> Search</button>
</div><<!-- /input-group -->
</center>
</td>
</table>
</center>
</form>
</div><<!--/col-lg-12-->
</div><<!--/row-->
</div><<!--/end of container-->
</section>
<<!--End of SearchBox section-->
In addition, here's the CSS snippet I'm using to attempt displaying the div:
.SearchCities {
float: right;
position:absolute;
margin-top:3px;
top: 100%;
right:20px;
}
I appreciate any help or suggestions on how to achieve the desired outcome. Thank you in advance.
After adding .searchCiries{z-index:1;}, the output looks like this:
I aim to prevent the city names from overflowing outside the container div. Any corrections or advice would be greatly appreciated.
