Extra Section
Z-Index: Consider the z-index as layers of sheets on a table. The greater the z-index, the more “above” the element appears. Therefore, if two elements intersect, the one with the greater z-index will be displayed in front.
However, it functions only when the element is positioned (relative, absolute, fixed, or sticky). Without it, z-index has no effect.
Overflow section: The Overflow feature in the Advanced section of Frontis Blocks controls how extra content behaves when it goes beyond the block’s size. The overflow property determines the action to take in this scenario.
Values of overflow:
- Visible:- The visible overflow value shows all content, even if it goes outside the box. It won’t be hidden or cut off, and no scrollbars will appear.
- Hidden: The hidden overflow value hides any content that goes outside the box. It gets cut off, and no scrollbars appear, so users can’t see the extra content.
- Scroll: The scroll overflow value always shows scrollbars. If the content is too big, you can scroll to see it. Even if there’s no extra content, scrollbars still appear.
- Auto: The auto overflow value adds scrollbars only when needed. If the content fits inside the box, no scrollbars show. If it overflows, scrollbars appear automatically.
- Clip: The clip overflow value hides any content that overflows the box without showing scrollbars. The extra content is simply cut off and cannot be seen or scrolled.
Padding: Padding allows you to add spaces around an object to increase the inner area. You can also add space on a single side with this feature. Click on the Link icon and add or reduce the padding on any side you want.
Margin: Margin enables the adjustment of an object’s placement on the canvas. With this feature, you can add a margin around an object or a single side. Click on the Link icon and add or reduce the Margin on any side you want.
Border and Shadow: You can place a border around the entire area and adjust the border color and border radius. This option allows you to apply a box shadow to the Fluent Form block.
Responsive Control: In this section, you will get 3 switches (Hide on Desktop, Hide on Tablet, Hide on Mobile). These switches let you show or hide the section on different devices.
Custom CSS: If you are an expert or have coding knowledge, you can add custom CSS in this section to make it responsive.
