I've got something I'm building wherein several boxes will be draggable.
What I'd like to do is have a function that can be called when dragging
stops(Interface onStop), or just when a box is clicked that would bring it
to the top of the stack via the z-index.

Of course, the writers of the CSS spec didn't think to just provide a "top"
value, so this isn't directly possible.
I tried something like just:

onStop : function() {
   $('.dragbox').css("z-index","1");
   $(this).css("z-index","10000");
}

but that ends up pretty obviously wrong, since it causes the other elements
to shuffle. They're all set to "1," and so end up in the natural
source-order stacking, rather than retaining their relative positions, just
under the currently active box.

Is there a way to do this that isn't too involved? Speak to me like someone
who knows just enough JS to break other people's JS *grin*
