CSS – fixed header gets covered by other divs when scrolling

May 8, 2022

I’m still learning and completely out of ideas what could be causing this.
The header has a fixed position but when I’m scrolling the page the header is not on top and is being covered by some divs.

#header {
display: flex;
width: 70vw;
height: 150px;
position: fixed;
left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, 0);
border: solid 2px #f48d26;
border-radius: 5px;
margin: auto;
justify-content: space-around;
background-color: white;
}
#center {
width: 70vw;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
text-align: center;
border: solid 2px #f48d26;
border-radius: 5px;
margin: 165px auto 0;
font-family: Orator Std; 
background-color: white;
}
#center-pics {
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
margin: 40px 100px 20px ;
}
.picture {
width: 16vw;
height: 12vw;
color: black;
opacity: 0.85;
border: solid 1px grey;
border-radius: 5px;
margin: 30px 0 0 0;
}

<div id="header">
    <img id="header-img" src="https://i.postimg.cc/q7PLWG9j/banner-bez-tla.jpg" alt="company banner with pet faces">
  <nav>
   <ul id="nav-bar">
     <li><a class="nav-link" href="#center">FEATURES</a></li>
     <li><a class="nav-link" href="#quotes">QUOTES</a></li>
   </ul>
  </nav>
  </div>
  <div id="center">
    <div id="center-pics">
      <div class="picture" id="pic1"><p>High quality materials and products</p></div>
      <div class="picture" id="pic2"><p>Tailored for your pet needs</p></div>
      <div class="picture" id="pic3"><p>Pet, human and eco-friendly</p></div>
    </div>
  </div>

Could anyone helop with this please?
Thanks!

>Solution :

You should give higher z-index than other div elements to make some element is one top of other element.
