z-index

Logic for stacking behaviour in javascript

I'm trying to write some javascript that will stack objects by setting z-index. Test Case: http://christophermeyers.name/stacker/ I've hacked that together, but I'd like to extrapolate that behavior to something a little more logical. That is: Given x number of elements, when element C is moved to the top, all elements above that elem...

Positioning Layers and text gradients with css

I'm a CSS newbie trying to get some text gradients going on. I tried this code here but it didn't work for me, most likely because the h1 object is nested within a #header div. I imagine there's something to do with layers that I don't know about. Either I get a gradent block that is in front of everything or it's not appearing at all. ...

IE is ignoring Z-Index on positioned elements

IE yet again is proving to be the bane of my existence. The top of a site I'm working on has a horizontal menu, an item of which triggers a pure-CSS menu that is positioned absolute within the parent menu DIV (positioned relative).

Hi everybody, I don't know if it's a classic safari 4 bug, but apparently many people cannot display correctly a non-flash content (div, image, etc.) over a flash animation.
