Tailwind CSS Z-index

The tailwind CSS framework is a CSS utility framework that provides classes for managing HTML content with CSS. Tailwind CSS simplifies our design process and makes it responsive across numerous platforms. The z-Index utility is used to control an element's stack order. It's a replacement for the CSS z-index property. As seen in the examples below, this class is used to describe the z-index along the three-dimensional plane.

Tailwind CSS z-index classes

The Tailwind CSS z-index classes are as follows:

  • z-0
  • z-10
  • z-20
  • z-30
  • z-40
  • z-50
  • z-auto

Note: In the abovementioned class, z-0 is the same as the CSS property z-index:0 and so on.

z-0

It is used to give the element a z-index of zero.

Syntax

<element class="z-0">....</element>

<!DOCTYPE html>
