Hi, It would be nice if we had a new type of rendering box called *overlay*. Then we could define an overlay div like this: *div.my-overlay {* * display: overlay;* *}* Then if had an HTML markup similar to: *<div id="example">* * Lorem ipsum* * <div class="my-overlay">* * An overlay* * </div>* *</div>* .my-overlay would always overlay #example. If the size, and position of #example got changed either programmatically or due to application of a specific media query, or in any other way, then .my-overlay would get resized automatically to cover the entire #example. An overlay element can have its children, and its children might have overlays as well. This is helpful especially for building web-based drag and drop environments (e.g. https://jetstrap.com/) as well as for building any type of overlay divs. Best regards, Behrang http://www.behrang.org
