      isolation

      CSS isolation property is used to control how an element's content interacts with its parent and sibling elements in terms of rendering and stacking context. It essentially determines whether an element establishes a new stacking context or not.

      Possible Values

      • auto − This is the default value. It indicates that the element's content does not create a new stacking context. Instead, it inherits the stacking context of its parent.
      • isolate − This value indicates that the element creates a new stacking context, isolating its content from the rest of the document. This means that the element's content will be rendered independently of its siblings and parent elements.

      Applies To

      All elements. In SVG, it applies to container elements, graphics elements, and graphics referencing elements.
