For those interested here's a good explanation of z-index stacking order
and context, prefaced with a challenge to solve a problem rooted in what
Philippe mentioned about other properties effects on positioning.

There are transform going on so perhaps that's what was causing the odd
behavior (odd as far as I'm concerned)...

Most modern browsers do. However there are more properties that affect the 
stacking / layering of content, independently of z-index. Opacity comes to 
mind, as do some of the CSS-transform properties (and in the latter case, this 
*may* vary between browsers…).

Understood. But turning off js did not allow me to replicate the issue.
Regardless, you would think if a negative z index put the content behind a
solid blue div with js enabled - as is the case with the rule in the CSS -
why did anyone see any content at any time!?!?

Like I said, odd one.

Re: [css-d] Rendering issues

2014-06-23 Thread Rick Gordon
I didn't search too deeply, but I suspect it's because the  
element is classed as js, and there are a significant number of styles 
in the CSS that are like this:


.js .inner{background:#1d335c;left:0;width:175%}

This is a commonly used approach, in which  is initially classed 
as .no-js, and then a script is run to change the class to .js. If it 
fails, you can assume that JavaScript is not enabled, and style with the 
possibility of either .js or .no-js as an ancestor.

I don't understand why any browser showed any content at all.

The selector needed JS to be active, but I tried my browser with and
without JS and I still saw the content...

Odd one.

The user saw a blank, blue screen ( a brand color) in current Chrome and Opera
