#40: How z-index Works
* 11/3/2008 — 5 Comments *
Z-index can be a little confusing sometimes. In this screencast I attempt to explain how it works, how it’s tied to positioning, some quirks, and some general advice.

If static element won’t do z-index, does it mean, that it kinda has z-index-value of zero through the line.
Thanks for the info! Very usefull.

Thanks for the great tips. Just got a quick question if anyone knows using the z-index can i place any div element with a higher z-index over a flash movie. I know Chris mentions about drop down menus somtimes getting lost under flash. But is it simply a matter of creating a div element for the flash and another div element for the page element you want to layer on top of the flash movie and setting the position to either absolute or relative and setting the z-index to a higher value?
will this work?
