To show a dropdown over a modal using Tailwind CSS, you can adjust the z-index of the dropdown so that it appears above the modal. Here is an example of how you can achieve this:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
<!-- Modal -->
<div class="fixed inset-0 bg-gray-900 bg-opacity-75 flex justify-center items-center">
    <!-- Content inside the modal -->
</div>

<!-- Dropdown -->
<div class="absolute top-0 right-0 mt-12">
    <div class="relative">
        <button class="px-4 py-2 bg-gray-800 text-white">Dropdown</button>
        <div class="absolute right-0 mt-1 w-32 bg-white border border-gray-200 z-10">
            <a href="#" class="block px-4 py-2 text-gray-800 hover:bg-gray-200">Option 1</a>
            <a href="#" class="block px-4 py-2 text-gray-800 hover:bg-gray-200">Option 2</a>
            <a href="#" class="block px-4 py-2 text-gray-800 hover:bg-gray-200">Option 3</a>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>


In this example, the modal has a z-index of 50 by default, so to make the dropdown appear above the modal, we have assigned a z-index of 10 to the dropdown. This ensures that the dropdown is displayed over the modal. You can adjust the z-index value of the dropdown as needed to achieve the desired result.
