Why can’t floating groups be behind everything? So everything scrolls over them?

Hi @jaos.pcl 🙂 One workaround would be to put everything that’s on the page inside of a floating group (set to float: none). Then, use the “send to back” option on the other floating groups, to set it beneath the main page floating group. I think that will give a similar effect!

@fayewatson This doesn’t work if I want to have other groups that actually floats at the front. Am I right? Thanks in advance.

@jaos.pcl It will work 🙂 If you have a floating group that is set to float nothing, and you’re not seeing other floating groups which should be in front of it, click on those floating groups and select “Arrange” --\> “Bring to Front” (might take a few different Arrange actions to make sure everything is where it needs to be)

You can also have a floating group and then use Javascript to set it’s z-index to 0 so that it’s behind other objects on the page.

Thank you for your replies.

@fayewatson I did that yesterday but when I tried today, it worked! Thank you. 🙂

@sridharan.s Don’t know how to use Javascript and I can’t code. Time to learn that I think. Thanks anyway.

You can find some js code on the forum or with google that’ll do the trick. It’s a simple 1-line script to change the z-index. Nothing complicated about it.

are you able to share a link to view what you all are talking about? I’d like to see what it looks like “live”.

Thanks

What is an example that you would use a floating group in the manner you described?

In my case, I have an image as my page background and a text. When the user scrolls, a group with other content will scroll over the text and the image. Similar to this site:

That may be so, but in vanilla Bubble I don’t see where you can put it?

“Arrange” → “Bring to Front” worked for me. Thank you.
