Overview

Product summary

Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.

Why use it? Browsers support a hierarchy of stacking contexts, rather than a single global one. This means that z-index values are often used incorrectly, and arbitrarily high values get set.

By Using Z-Context, you'll know:

- If the current element creates a stacking context, and why

- What its parent stacking context is

- The z-index value

Doesn't work on latest chrome. Reloading the browser or reinstalling the extension doesn't help - the tab is always empty

Thanks. Was going crazy trying to figure out why a stacking context was getting created and this one told me exactly why.
