When is it appropriate to change the z index number?

Quick question back at ya: how do you plan to do this? It sounds like
you’re thinking of playing directly with the code in some way…

Not really - just wondering because I perceive it is changing the stacking order and was aware that I can change the stack order in the site menu. So was wondering what if any the point was of messing with z index.

The stacking order in the layout determines the ‘running order’ of
the item references in the code, AND the z-index for each layered
item. The one thing effectively directly translates to the other, but
z-index is a code-specific and div-specific term. To change the
z-index of something, bring it forward or send it backward in your
layout in Freeway, don’t go looking for ways to alter the z-index
references in the code.

(Just in case that was crossing your mind! :slight_smile: )
