How can I create an overlapping layout in Webflow using a separate div block for the gray box and ensuring the image stretches to the edge of the screen?

To create an overlapping layout in Webflow where an image stretches to the edge of the screen and has a separate gray box overlayed, follow these steps. 

​

1. Set Up Your Image

• Add an Image element to your canvas.
• Set the Width of the image to 100vw to ensure it stretches across the full width of the screen.

​

2. Add a Div Block for the Gray Box

• Add a Div Block to your page that will act as the gray box.
• Position this Div Block relative to the image by using Webflow’s positioning tools.

​

3. Style the Gray Box

• Set the Background Color of the Div Block to your desired shade of gray.
• Adjust the Position settings of the Div Block to absolute. This allows you to place it precisely over the image.

​

4. Adjust the Z-Index

• Ensure the Gray Box has a higher z-index than the image so it appears on top.
• Set this value in the Styles panel for the Div Block.

​

5. Fine-Tune the Layout

• Adjust Padding and Margins to align the gray box as needed.
• Preview Your Changes to ensure that the layout looks as expected across different screen sizes.

​

Summary

To overlay a gray box on a full-width image in Webflow, use a separate absolute-positioned div block with a higher z-index over a 100vw-stretched image and style it accordingly. Adjust positions and sizes to achieve the desired overlap.
