So I am using the input checkbox to toggle on/off the mascot logo on top of the main container div's background. The logo has to start in the top 0 left 0 just like the background but when I toggle it on to show the mascot logo the menu with the check boxes is hidden.

My z-index won't work and I am looking for any solutions to keep the menu group of checkboxes on top of all.

Thanks

body, html {
  height: 100%;
}

#map {
  background-image: url(https://image.freepik.com/free-vector/vector-illustration-mountain-landscape_1441-71.jpg);
  height: 1080px;
  width: 1080px;
  background-position: center;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size: 1080px 1080px;
  position: relative;
  }

  #menu {
    display: block;
    width: 100px;
  }

input:checked + .hidable {
    display: none;
    position: absolute;
    z-index: 10;
}
  
input:not(:checked) + .showable {
    display: none;
    position: absolute;
    z-index: 10;
  }

  #mascot1 {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0px;
    left: 0px;
    z-index: 1;
  }

add a negative z-index to all the image and z-index:0 to the main wrapper. You can then remove all the other z-index

body,
html {
  height: 100%;
}

#map {
  background-image: url(https://image.freepik.com/free-vector/vector-illustration-mountain-landscape_1441-71.jpg);
  height: 1080px;
  width: 1080px;
  background-position: center;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size: 1080px 1080px;
  position: relative;
  z-index: 0
}

#menu {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns:auto 1fr;
}

input:checked+.hidable,
input:not(:checked)+.showable {
  display: none;
}

.showable {
  position: absolute;
  top: 0px;
  left: 0px;
  z-index: -1;
}
<div id="map">
    <div id="menu">
      <input type="checkbox" /> Mascot 1 long text here
      <div class="showable"><img id="mascot1" src="https://banner2.cleanpng.com/20180510/fkq/kisspng-tiger-mascot-5af4168e2aa482.2537194215259459981747.jpg" alt="Map Locations"></div>
      <input type="checkbox" /> Mascot 2
      <div class="showable"><img id="mascot2" src="https://banner2.cleanpng.com/20180510/fkq/kisspng-tiger-mascot-5af4168e2aa482.2537194215259459981747.jpg" alt="Map Locations"></div>
      <input type="checkbox" /> Mascot 3
      <div class="showable"><img id="mascot3" src="https://banner2.cleanpng.com/20180510/fkq/kisspng-tiger-mascot-5af4168e2aa482.2537194215259459981747.jpg" alt="Map Locations"></div>
    </div>
  </div>

Related for mroe details: Why can't an element with a z-index value cover its child?

  • This does not work either because the image that is toggled from hide/show has to start at the screen positiontop 0, left 0. The toggled image must line up perfectly with the main container div's background image – user3146788 May 29 '20 at 22:02
  • Check and it works very well. This is exactly what I wanted to do. Thank you so much! – user3146788 May 29 '20 at 22:04
  • I have added longer text descriptions but now it new line for each menu item (checkbox) using display: block? I do not want to use
    as it breaks things. I have edited my original code above..     – user3146788 May 29 '20 at 23:46

    @user3146788 please don't edit your code with my answer, you make it irrelevant and you completely change the question. Share your new code here http://jsfiddle.net/ or consider a new question if you want – Temani Afif May 29 '20 at 23:52
  • @user3146788 check again my answer, I have updated the code – Temani Afif May 29 '20 at 23:55
  • thank you and I now understand not to update code thanks – user3146788 May 29 '20 at 23:56

  • No, this is really cool actually but I need it to line up with the bg of the original div, the above solution works. thanks, – user3146788 May 29 '20 at 22:03
