I'm trying to create a custom carousel using Bootstrap 5, where each slide contains text and an image displayed side by side. Everything is working as expected, and the slides are positioned correctly. However, Slide 3 always appears on top, even when it's not active.
I'm looking for a way to fix this issue (without using JavaScript).
Here's the code I'm working with (with jQuery 4.0+ and Bootstrap 5 compatibility, as this is for a Drupal 11 website):
.carousel-item {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
background: #f8f9fa;
}
.carousel-item .item {
display: flex;
width: 100%;
}
.carousel-item .text,
.carousel-item .image {
padding: 15px;
}
.carousel-item .text {
flex: 1;
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
color: white;
padding: 20px;
}
.carousel-item .image img {
width: 100%;
height: auto;
object-fit: cover;
}
.carousel-caption {
display: none;
}
@media (max-width: 768px) {
.carousel-item .item {
flex-direction: column;
}
.carousel-item .image img {
max-height: 300px;
}
