Return element with highest z-index

[downtroden]

I’m using the jquery topZIndex plugin in my application. It’s working great.

Now I have a situation though, where I would like to return the element with the highest z-index on the page. The plugin has a function that will return the highest z-index, but it’s a value, not an object.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

It looks like it’s going to be a different plugin that you need then.

You should be able to do it fairly easily without jQuery.

document.getElementsByTagName('*')

returns all the element objects on the page. Then loop through them to find the one with the highest z-index.

Shouldn’t be more than a handful of lines of code, max.
