css z-index property syntax

Function: z-index attribute sets the stacking order of elements. Elements with a higher stacking order will always appear in front of elements with a lower stacking order.

Description: This property sets the position of a positioned element along the z-axis, which is defined as the axis extending vertically to the display area. If it is a positive number, it is closer to the user, and if it is a negative number, it is further away from the user.​

Note: All major browsers support the z-index attribute. The attribute value "inherit" is not supported in any version of Internet Explorer (including IE8). Elements can have negative z-index attribute values. Z-index only works on positioned elements (e.g. position:absolute;)!
