Draggable element on top

HTML

<div id="redDiv" class="divClass" style="background-color: red">
    Red Div
</div>

<div id="greeDiv" class="divClass" style="background-color: green">
    Green Div
</div>

<div id="blueDiv" class="divClass" style="background-color: blue">
    Blue Div
</div>

<div id="brownDiv" class="divClass" style="background-color: brown">
    Brown Div
</div>

CSS

.divClass {
    font-family: Arial;
    height: 200px;
    width: 200px;
    color: white;
    display: table-cell;
    vertical-align: middle;
    text-align: center;
    z-index: 0;
}

jQuery

$(document).ready(function () {
    $('.divClass').draggable();
});

To bring a Div Element that is being dragged on top of other draggable div's on the page, use stack option. The way this works is jQuery sets the z-index of the element that is being dragged to higher than the z-index of any other draggable div element on the page. You can see the value of the z-index in browser developer tools.

$(document).ready(function () {
    $('.divClass').draggable({
        stack: '.divClass'
    });
});

However, if you simply click on a Div element without dragging then the element is not brought on to the top. Here is the code to bring the element on top as soon as mousedown event is triggered. All this function does is change the z-index of the div element to a value greater than the z-index of any other div element.

$(document).ready(function () {
    $('.divClass').draggable();

    $('.divClass').mousedown(function () {
        var maxZindex = 0;
        $(this).siblings('.divClass').each(function () {
            var currentZindex = Number($(this).css('z-index'));
            maxZindex = currentZindex > maxZindex ? currentZindex : maxZindex;
        });
        $(this).css('z-index', maxZindex + 1);
    });
});

Difference between each and map in jquery

Image
$.map $.each map method can be used as an iterator. each method is an immutable iterator Returns a new array Returns the original array The order of callback arguments - element, index. $.map(elems,  function  () { element, index }, arg) The order of callback arguments - index, element. $.each(elems,  function  () { index, element }, arg) Does not have a way to terminate the iteration Return false to terminate the iteration Example :  Notice that the callback arguments in the each method are the reverse of the callback arguments in the map function. Also notice that map returns a new array where as each method returns the original array. This proves the point that each method is an immutable iterator where as map is not. $(document).ready( function  () {      var  intArray = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];      function  functionA(index, element) {          return ...
