Containers & Context

applying a flexible #CSS z-index stack fixed a lot of messy legacy layering issues for me. There might be better ways, but this is very readable when applied, some examples:
.is-sticky {
position: sticky;
z-index: var(--above-page-z);
}
.notification {
z-index: var(--alert-z);
}
A few things I learned while writing the #css #zindex chapter:
- Don't mention the bloody z-axis. It only gives the poor student one more useless concept to grasp.
- We need a property that says: "I am NOT a stacking context". Sort-of the opposite of isolation: isolate.
isolation: PLEASE-NO-DONT?
- Using the word 'preposterous' in a z-index context is fine. It's desirable, in fact.
- I should give readers tips for finding wayward stacking contexts, but I don't have any.

Nice Short article about an approach to use ‚z-index‘ correctly:

The `z-index` property, despite all that’s written about it, is still widely misunderstood and mishandled. Stacking issues in a complex single-page web application can become a major pain. Adhering to some principles, however, we can easily avoid these issues.
