The difference between my CSS and your CSS is that you write z-index: 999999, and I write z-index: 2 to get the same effect.

is it the same effect though? many external lib's CSSes have hovering content at Z-10 or Z-20
at 2 you're risking random overlaps (been there)

I have z-index -1

z-index 999999 is the equivalent of kids fighting about who can come up with a bigger number

Yeah but more nines are more better

I don't write CSS. Front end. Nasty stuff.

The difference between your CSS and my CSS is that I don't engage in AIDS cancer- ahem, CSS

@azuredivay I don't care about CSS libs. I do everything myself. All CSS libs suck and they're fucking ugly, except for one obscure React UI kit made by HP (of all people) that was deprecated around 7 years ago. It's a bummer that I can't use it because I quit doing react

@Lensflare It's really Vegeta not believing Goku has a power level over 9000.

@Lensflare fucking brilliant lol

@kiki not a fan of material! It caused too many problems and had to write more complex code than needed just to work around its issues

@TeachMeCode lol it wasn’t material. Material is google, not hp

z -index 99999 is more like fuck your future feature.

it is not the same effect, because there always is something with a z-index: 5.

also: there's only one valid value:

z-index: 2147483647 !important

@tosensei z-index: π;

@kiki if I see a z index of pi I would love to see the outer dimensional brain that came up with that and the calculations us dumb humans couldn’t grasp lol

Bloody hate the massive z index kids.
Only where you must indeed be 100% sure it must be highest on every page included there is a reason for going higher than 10.

That or some game/dynamic stuff that uses a lot of layers.
