<H2>Effect of <CODE>z-index</CODE> value to positioned elements</H2> <P style="TEXT-ALIGN: right">with <A href="http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/hyatt/archives/2004_09.html#006469">help</A> from <A href="http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/hyatt/">Dave Hyatt</A> <SUP>1</SUP></P> <P class=specnote>Through the entire tutorial, I will be using RP as short for relatively positioned element and AP for absolutely positioned element. I also assume that you know that <CODE>z-index</CODE> is the CSS property that defines where on z-axis that particular element is placed. z-axis' starting point is the monitor screen and it climbs up towards your eye.</P>
