Description: Sets the position of an anchored element along the z axis, defined as the axis that extends vertically to the display area. If positive, it is closer to the user and a negative number means farther away from the user.
Note: An element can have a negative Z-index property value. Z-index only works on positioning elements (e.g. position:absolute;)!
Available values:
Auto: Default. The stacking order is equal to the parent element.
Number: Sets the stacking order of the elements.
Inherit: Specifies that the value of the Z-index property should be inherited from the parent element.
Instance:
<HTML> <Head> <styletype= "Text/css">img.x{position:Absolute; Left:0px;Top:0px;Z-index:-1} </style> </Head> <Body> <H1>This is a headline</H1> <imgclass= "X"src= "/i/eg_mouse.jpg" /> <P>The default z-index is 0. The z-index-1 has a lower priority.</P> </Body></HTML>
