> I thought that the z-index specified in what order to > draw sibling elements, but apparently it doesn't? It specifies the order in which to draw the elements in a given stacking context. In your case, everything has z-index auto, so per CSS2 things should be drawn in document order, with the second <p> being on top of the <em> which is on top of the first <p>. No existing implementation actually does it that way, as you noted. Last I heard, the WG was going to attempt address this issue (possibly by making an erratum to the z-index section). Boris -- Wallet [n]: Mythical object rumored to carry mysterious, disappearing substances referred to as "money" or "cash" (not to be confused with the C Shell). The association of this "money" to real life is currently being researched by R&D (put Reality in the Background; Dammit). Full results are expected RSN, however, preliminary results indicate that this substance "money" is often required to obtain such necessities as computers, pizza, hard drives, caffeine, a network connection, and resolving the conflict between ordering the pizza and maintaining your network connection.
