z-index

Description

Specifies the stacking order of positioned elements.

Syntax

{ z-index: integer | auto }

Remarks

By default (auto), the stacking order is bottom-to-top in the order that they appear in the HTML source. Positive z-index values are positioned above a negative (or lesser value) z-index. Two elements with the same z-index are stacked according to source order.
