zIndex

Description

Sets or retrieves the stacking order of positioned elements.

Remarks

By default (auto), the stacking order is bottom-to-top in the order that the z-indexed elements 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.
