If you need a way to identify the element with the highest z-index
then you could try the :max() selector provided in the moreSelectors
plugin.

Something like $("DIV:max(zIndex)") would return the DIVs with the
highest z-index.

It is not a publicised feature of the moreSelectors plugin because it
is not widely tested, but I've used it successfully in my code. Only
works with numeric style values and atributes. Given that it has to
repeatedly loop through all the elements to identify the largest
attribute I'd recommend sticking to a small number of` elements.
