Ever wanted to determine what is the highest Z-Index out of everything displayed on your page, so that you can move an object to a higher position? Well the code below will do exactly that, it's not my own code, I've been using it for quite a few months now, so unfortunately I cannot remember where I got it from.

function docjslib_findHighestZ() {

     var documentDivs = new Array();

     documentDivs = document.all.tags("DIV");

     var highestZ = 0;

     for (var i = 0; i < documentDivs.length; i++) {

          var Zindex = documentDivs[i].style.zIndex;

          if (Zindex > highestZ) {

               highestZ = Zindex;

          }

     }

     return highestZ;

}
