Hello Forum
Was wondering if its possible to apply a z index to a sub grid. Was wanting to put a partially transparent fill on top of a picture and place elements or type in that subgrid row. I placed a pic in the column and then a subgrid and used neg margins to move it but it goes behind the picture. Same with a container.

I bounce back and forth from Bootstrap to Foundation but its seems Foundation can do a bit more - not that I understand it! But in Foundation for now.

Thanks

Ok figured that out but its not the effect I was hoping - trying to do this

You see how the top phone area and nav look like they are over the picture over a partial opacity screen? It stays at the top though all the break points except when on small screen it goes to a mobile navigation. That is what I am looking for

Thanks!

(if someone is curious about the above post - I changed the position from static to relative and the z index became available)

I don't quite understand what you are trying to achieve. A sticky navigation? A navigation that becomes sticky on scroll? A fixed background image at the top? Something else?

Not sure if its a sticky navigation but like the site I posted - the client likes how the top row for the phone and the row for the nav are over the over picture. But when I do it I cant make the subgrid (with the opacity bkg) stay at the top of the picture at all times till the very smallest breakpoint when it changes to a more traditional mobile navigation.

Hope that makes sense

OK, a bit clearer now. I wouldn't use a subgrid. Just make the image the background of the row, image size: cover;, then a column holding the phone number, and a new column for the navigation. Those two columns can have semi-transparent backgrounds.

Not if you are using the image as a background (well you can but it wont be the height of the photo because it is a background image. you have to either set the height in vh or in pixels the same height as the photo
