How can an overlay pane be made to appear without moving other parts of the webpage?

An overlay pane must use `position: fixed` in CSS. This ensures the pane floats above other content. The pane should never push or change the size of other elements on the page.

The rule

An overlay pane must use `position: fixed` in CSS.

This ensures the pane floats above other content. The pane should never push or change the size of other elements on the page.

An overlay pane needs to be positioned correctly. Use `position: fixed` in the CSS code. This makes the pane stay in one place on the screen. It will float over other content. The pane will not push other elements. Other parts of the page will not change their size. Always check this setting before changing any pane code.

A developer creates a new feedback form. The form appears as an overlay pane. If the pane is not `position: fixed`, it pushes the main content to the side. This makes the page layout look broken. When `position: fixed` is used, the form appears correctly over the content.
