I am going to share one tool inside the chrome dev tool that you can you while debugging the next issue for the Z-index.
Z-Index:
Z-Index is an important property of CSS. The z-index property specifies the stack order of an element and its descendants. We use Z-index with absolute or relative positions. When elements overlap, z-order determines which one covers the other.
You must have used this one property while making any design and sometimes the Div which you want to show on the top not display whether you give it the Z-Index of 1000000.
Don’t keep hit any try with giving the random number. use the following tool to check where your div element is positioned. you must be frustrated while doing this.
keep calm and
- open Chrome Dev tools
- Click on three dots on the right-hand side and open more tools and select layer

There are three options available under the console text,
First mode is pan mode this used to drag the given window inside the layer windowthe second mode is Rotate mode, you can use this mode to rotate the window and to see how the elements are positioned,and the third one is used to reset the 1st and 2nd settings.
