cm0002The Value of z-index | CSS-Tricks
tuckermWell given how many times I’ve tried z-index: 999999 and it didn’t do what I wanted it to, the value of z-index is apparently multiplied by zero.
(OK fine, I’ll read the article…)
danI like the idea of using CSS variables for consistency.
Many years ago, before CSS variables were a thing, I did a very similar thing using a LESS function:
$zindices: hero-mobile, nav-bar, hero, nav-contents; @function zindex($layer) { @return index($zindices, $layer); }Which would be used like:
z-index: zindex('hero');The z-index value is just that string’s position in the list.
