Button is behind divs and co.. z-index pointless?

I want to have the "Kontakt" button in the right cornor at the front. So, this button is supposed to be above everything else. I already set the z-index to z-index: 99999999999 !important; but it doens't effect anything...
On desktop the button is above everything except the footer at the bottom. On mobile its a disaster... Its behind everything... Try yourself..
But why and how can I fix that? - Here the site: https://j-trier.de
Code:
<button onClick="location.href='#kontakt'" type="button" id="kontakt_button" class="cl-popup-trigger type_btn cl-btn">Kontakt</button>
Greetings

just put your button code direct inside of body tag.

You have used Z-index property in right way. But there is a problem in CSS file “us-base.min.css” . On class “l-canvas class” there is a property “overflow: hidden” which is making it invisible. So remove this property. If you want to use it so use it in such way ”overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: visible;
Happy Coding!

jQuery/CSS - Whole Div Clickable, on hover activate a tag hover state

I'm trying to make the .wrapper div a clickable link that goes to the a.icon location. Also, when they hover over the .wrapper div the a.icon:hover state actives, not just when you hover over the icon itself.
Any help would be great.
This is what I have so far:
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$(".aca-question-container").hover(function() {
$(".icon").trigger("hover");
});
$(".aca-question-container").click(function(){
window.location=$(this).find("a").attr("href");
return false;
});
});
Example: http://jsbin.com/diyewivima/1/edit?html,css,js,output

In HTML5, you can wrap block elements such as your .wrapper div, within anchors. This is a rudimentary version of what I think you're looking for: http://jsbin.com/qegesapore/edit?html,css,js,output
I removed the JS you had there as I'm not sure it's necessary, and obviously some styling will be needing to be tweaked.
There shouldn't be any requirement for JS to achieve this really.
The hover state can still be applied to the icon as per:
.your-anchor:hover .icon {
background: #666;
}

As I commented, you can use jQuery and a class to achieve what you want. Below is the JS: (it must be inside the onload function)
$('div#wrapper').mouseenter(function(){
$('a.icon').addClass('hover');
});
$('div#wrapper').mouseleave(function(){
$('a.icon').removeClass('hover');
});
And, you must not forget, in your CSS you have to replace a.icon:hover with a.icon:hover, a.icon.hover, so that it emulates the hover state when the class is added. Like this:
a.icon:hover, a.icon.hover{
//CSS GOES HERE
}

For the CSS portion- propagating the hover is pretty easy. Just use .wrapper:hover .icon
as the hover effect selector. You can drop .icon:hover, too, since the parent is hovered when the child is hovered.
As for propagating the click down to it... also easy without jQ.
.wrapper:hover .icon{
color:#f00;
}
<div class="wrapper" onclick="this.getElementsByClassName('icon')[0].click()">
icon
testit
</div>
The error generated is the "there's not stackoverflow.com/google.com" error, showing that the link was followed. Slap https:// in front of the href and pull it out of an iframe and you'll be able to fully see it works.
EDIT:
bsod99's fix is cleaner. So long as you can rearrange the DOM and don't need to support ancient relics (pre-HTML5 spec browsers, like Firefox <3.5) (which you probably don't have to do), use his instead.

How to simulate click on a display:none on hover image (how to listen for any mouse click in a browser)

On a website (find it by the link) I have links with images in footer (screenshot)
I have found a great glitch effect in a footer icons which I want to use. It chages images randomly if code looks like that:
<footer class="footer text-center">
<a target="_blank" href="http://link1.com"><img src="f2.jpg"></a>
<img src="f3.jpg">
<a target="_blank" href="http://link3.com"><img src="f1.jpg"></a>
<a target="_blank" href="http://link4.com"><img src="f5.jpg"></a>
<a target="_blank" href="http://link5.com"><img src="bc.png"></a>
<img src="mail.jpg">
</footer>
and simple style
.footer img:hover {
display:none;
}
But in that scenario click while hovering on of the image footers gives no result.
I've tried to use javascript:
var a_href
$("footer a").on("mousemove", function() {
a_href = $(this).attr('href');
console.log(a_href);
});
$(document).click(function(){
console.log("!!!!!!!!!!!");
console.log(a_href);
window.open(a_href,'_blank');
});
Idea was to save the last hovered link and then emulate the click on it by clicking any other element. But that method works only if I click anywhere ELSE than a space over the glitchy icons. Same with $('body').click, $('.footer').click.
I've tried to overlay footer with other div on which i'd be putting .click but then display:none on hover doesn't work.
Here is a jsfiddle - http://jsfiddle.net/yssdjr17/1/
What should I do? Thank you.
UPD
If we use something instead of a display:none we loose the cool glitch effect that way. We loved how randomly elements collapsed and that user might click on one of the elements, but never sure on which one. Some sort of a minigame for him.
Is there a way to listen for a mouseclick, in browser, no matter on what element?

Don't use display: none, use visibility: hidden instead. This way the element will still be there, just not visible.
.footer img:hover {
visibility: hidden;
}
JSFiddle demo.

The effect makes it look broken.
You can't fire the click event from anything hidden or not displayed.
Instead try:
<div id="awesomelink" onclick="openawesomewindow('http://link1.com');"></div>
#awesomelink
{
height:60px;
width:60px;
background-image:url('f1.jpg');
}
#awesomelink:hover
{
background-image:url('awesomecrazyanimated.gif');
}
It's how I'd do it and you'll get a more consistant result across different browsers.
Also the menu of icons won't be shortened by one element making savvy surfers afraid to click.

Cannot position Google +1 button with CSS?

I'm having some trouble positioning the Google +1 button on my website. The div is as follows:
<div class="g-plusone"></div>
The CSS I'm using is pretty simple:
.g-plusone
{
position: absolute;
top:95px;
left:715px;
}
Despite what would seem straightforward, it simple does not want to move.
I know for a fact that the div in question is being accessed. What's strange is that other social sharing buttons, such as the FB like below follow the same syntax and are positioned perfectly.
.fb-like
{
position: absolute;
top:62px;
left:715px;
}
Adding !important to the values does nothing, unfortunately.
Any ideas?

When Google loads +1 button the .g-plusone class seems to disappear, so try to put this DIV inside another DIV, as illustrated below:
HTML:
<div class="google-button">
<div class="g-plusone"></div>
</div>
CSS:
.google-button
{
position: absolute;
top:95px;
left:715px;
}

After page loads, the Google div called g-plusone turns into a lot of code, but, you can manipulate this button with id generated.
In my case, for example, to align the button in the middle of the line I put:
#___plusone_0{
vertical-align: middle !important;
}
Note: The id ___plusone_0 is the id generated by the google codes. Do whatever you want with this id.

Use something like Firebug to ensure you're targeting the correct element. The +1 button is very deeply nested, so you'll most likely need to look further up the DOM tree to get to it's outermost wrapper. You will be able to set the position of that without needing to use !important or anything, so I would definitely check this first.
Sorry, I would have just added this as a comment above but I don't seem to be able :)

Firefox page "moves" when hiding/showing divs

We have a web page with this general structure:
<div id="container">
<div id="basicSearch">...</div>
<div id="advancedSearch" style="display: none">...</div>
<div>
With this CSS:
#container { MARGIN: 0px auto; WIDTH: 970px }
#basicSearch { width:100% }
#advancedSearch{ width:100%;}
We have a link on the page that lets the user toggle between using the "basic" search and the "advanced" search. The toggle link calls this Javascript:
var basic = document.getElementById('basicSearch');
var advanced = document.getElementById('advancedSearch');
if (showAdvanced) {
advanced.style.display = '';
basic.style.display = 'none';
} else {
basic.style.display = '';
advanced.style.display = 'none';
}
This all works great in IE.
It works in Firefox too - except - when we toggle (ie: show/hide) from one div to the other, the page "moves" in Firefox. All the text in the "container" moves about 5px to the left/right when you toggle back and forth. Anyone know why?

Is it causing a scrollbar to appear / disappear?

Toggling content can make the page content taller. Check whether this makes a scrollbar appear, as this will affect the page width slightly.

What I ended up doing was this: HTML { OVERFLOW-Y:SCROLL; OVERFLOW-X:HIDDEN; }
Here's a good related SO post.

Check your XHTML is well formed, sounds like a dangling DIV (firebug will help with this).
On a side note jquery has some really nice animations that make this switch much nicer on the eyes.

I don't know why, but if you install Firebug a Firefox plug in you can use it to debug your problem.
Firebug has saved my hours of debugging time when it comes to CSS and showing and hiding divs.
With firebug you can view what may be different between the two divs.
From firefox, just choose the Tools Menu, then click Ad-Ons, then click Get Ad-Ons and search for firebug.
One thing that you could try is to hide before you show, this may have less flicker. If you are causing the page to get taller, this could be the source of your trouble.
I hope this helps.
