When we put any link inside of a bootstrap card it performs well until we used card-img-overlay to put an image as a background of that card.
Approach: All the links placed inside class card-img-overlay works but links placed outside this class do not work. To make these links work, set the position of these links ‘relative’.
CSS Code: Place this inside the <style> tag.
.card-link
{
position:relative;
}
Below example illustrates the approach:
Example 1: This example illustrates card card-img-overlay, in the 1st card we are not using the card-img-overlay but when we use the card-img-overlay the links are not working even text is not responding as a text. It totally behaves likes a picture.
