What is the issue with the positioning menu in Webflow? Does it not appear when trying to layer div blocks over each other?

If the positioning menu in Webflow is not appearing or not behaving as expected when layering div blocks, it may be due to a few common issues related to Webflow's positioning settings and UI responsiveness. Here’s how to troubleshoot and fix it.

1. Check if the Element is Selected

• Ensure the correct div block is selected in the Navigator or Designer.
• Sometimes, if a parent element is selected, Webflow may not show position options for the child element.

2. Verify the Position Display Panel

• If the position bar (Static, Relative, Absolute, Fixed) is missing, try restarting Webflow or refreshing the browser.
• If it's collapsed, click on the positioning section in the Style panel to expand it.

3. Ensure the Right Parent-Child Structure

• If a child div is set to absolute positioning, its behavior depends on the nearest positioned ancestor.
• If no parent has Relative, Absolute, or Fixed positioning, the absolute element will default to the body tag, which may cause placement issues.

4. Check for Display Conflicts

• If a parent div has overflow: hidden, it might prevent absolutely positioned children from being visible.
• Try setting overflow: visible on the parent container.

5. Clear Browser Cache and Try Another Browser

• Cached UI glitches may prevent Webflow from displaying certain menus.
• Try clearing cache or using another browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) to see if the issue persists.

Summary

If the positioning menu in Webflow does not appear while layering div blocks, ensure that the correct element is selected, reposition styles are expanded, and parent-child relationships are set correctly. Also, check for UI glitches by refreshing Webflow or switching browsers if needed.
