A lot of people have no idea about the offset parent (you’ll also hear me call this the Containing Block), and have trouble understanding what’s going on with Stacking Context. Kilian recently added some features to help us better understand what’s going on with them, so he joined me to explore the features as we do our best to explain what they are. 🔗 Links ✅ Polypane: https://polypane.app/?ref=kevin (affiliate link, so if you do sign up for it, you also help support this channel) ✅ If you prefer written content, Killian has made what we talked about into an article: https://polypane.app/blog/offset-parent-and-stacking-context-positioning-elements-in-all-three-dimensions/ ⌚ Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction 00:39 - Exploring Polypane’s tools 06:08 - Explaining Offset Parent 12:53 - Explaining Stacking Context #css -- Come hang out with other dev's in my Discord Community 💬 https://discord.gg/nTYCvrK Keep up to date with everything I'm up to ✉ https://www.kevinpowell.co/newsletter Come hang out with me live every Monday on Twitch! 📺 https://www.twitch.tv/kevinpowellcss --- Help support my channel 👨‍🎓 Get a course: https://www.kevinpowell.co/courses 👕 Buy a shirt: https://teespring.com/stores/making-the-internet-awesome 💖 Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/kevinpowell --- My editor: VS Code - https://code.visualstudio.co
