This function goes through HTML Elements and makes all the numbers as low as can be without affecting ordering. <br /> <br />Feel free to make suggestions or to use this code how you'd like. <br /> <br />One condition, please just tell me if you're using it, and if you have ideas for improvement, let me know <br />kenny[@t ]]]standsolid.com <br /> <br /><code>function sanitizeZ(elements){ <br /> <br /> function sortByZIndex(a, b){ <br /> return a[1] - b[1]; <br /> } <br /> <br /> var tempZArray = new Array(); <br /> for(i in elements) <br /> tempZArray.push([i, elements[i].style.zIndex]); <br /> <br /> tempZArray.sort(sortByZIndex); <br /> <br /> for(i in tempZArray) <br /> elements[ tempZArray[i][0] ].style ['zIndex'] = i; <br /> <br />}</code> Wed, 19 Oct 2005 11:57:11 GMT http://snippets.dzone.com/posts/show/821 standsolid (Kenny)
