document.getElementById(name).style.z-index

[Aquosus]

How do I change the z-index on a page I have tried

document.getElementById(name).style.z-index
and
document.getElementById(name).style.Zindex

I want to change the z-index to show a layer that is covered

No

document.getElementById(name).style.Zindex

No, the - is always replaced
by a uppercasing the letter that follows:

style.zIndex

instead of the name use the id

document.getElementById('myId').style.zIndex = -5

I want to change the z-index to show a layer that is covered

Forget about layers, speak <div>s

Not only that, you also want to make sure you understand the rules for
z-indexing... for example...

<div id="d11">
<div id="d121"></div>
<div id="d122"></div>
<div id="d123"></div>
<div id="d124"></div>
</div>
<div id="d12">
<div id="d221"></div>
<div id="d222"></div>
<div id="d223"></div>
<div id="d224"></div>
</div>

You can play with the zIndexes of the d2** blocks with each other but
you aren't going to have d224 on top on d11. z-indexing is for
sibblings only.

True,
you might want to look into the merits of not topposting too,
especially in a non topposting thread.
