Box-Shadow Needed to Stay in Front of all lLayers

I have created a list of items that are scrollable. The list has a title section at the top and uses a box-shadow that overlays on top of the list. When I add a highlight hover effect to the list items, the list item highlight goes in-front of the box-shadow. Is there a way to have the box-shadow always show in-front?

Example provided: https://codepen.io/jwaugh3/pen/WNbopGX

```
<div class="gameList">
          <div class="gameListTitle">
            <h1>Title Block</h1>
            <h2>Box-Shadow Below</h2>
          </div>
        <div class="scroller">
          <div class="force-overflow">
          <div class="gameTile">
            <h class="gameTileText gameTimeGrid">*GameTime*</h>
            <h class="gameTileText tournamentNameGrid">*TournamentName, Year*</h>
            <h class="gameTileText teamOneGrid"><img src="../resources/Griffinlogo_square.png" class="teamIcon">*TeamName*</h>

Solution

  • You're using CSS Grid all you need to do is add display:grid to .gameList which seems to be missing ?

    .gameList {
  grid-column-start: 1;
  grid-column-end: 2;
  grid-row-start: 2;
  grid-row-end: 4;
  background-color: #6B6B6B;
  border-radius: 10px;
  
  display: grid /* Added */
}

/* z-index :1 */
.gameListTitle {
  z-index: 1;
  border-radius: 10px 10px 0px 0px;
  background-color: #6B6B6B;
  color: white;
  padding: 10px;
  box-shadow: 0px 10px 6px -1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.58);
}

/* no z-index or lower than .gameListTitle z-index*/
.scroller {
  overflow-y: scroll;
  height: 85%;
  margin-right: 2px;
  width: 100%;
}

::-webkit-scrollbar {
  margin-top: 10px;
  width: 12px;
  background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0, 0);
}

::-webkit-scrollbar-track {
  margin-top: 10px;
  margin-bottom: 10px;
  background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0, 0);
  box-shadow: inset 0 0 6px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);
  border-radius: 10px;
}

::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
  margin-top: 10px;

    Why does it work ?

    The z-index property sets the z-order of a positioned element and its descendants or flex items.

    Positioned element: is an element who's position property is set to a value other than static

    Flex item: is an child element of a flex container display:flex; or a grid container display:grid;

    Now your z-index:1 on .gameListTitle will be effective.
