Understanding the Importance of Position Relative in CSS Z -Index
One key insight explored in the podcast is the significance of using position relative in CSS when dealing with Z -index issues. By adding position relative to an element, such as a card, you can create a stacking context that isolates the z-index for that element, allowing proper layering. This approach resolves common problems where z-index declarations may not work as expected, ensuring that elements are properly contained and displayed.
