Higher z-index than 50 - Something like z-full or z-max

[jenstornell]

Max z-index is 50. (I know we can extend it ourselves)

When using external libraries, for example Leaflet (openstreetmap), they use a z-index of 800 for their zoom buttons.

Maximum z-index is 2147483647 but it's not very common to go that high.

Solution

Add something like z-full or z-max to make sure the element will be placed on top. That way you don't need to implement that many new numbers. It would still be enough to take care of these cases quite well.

The problem with z-full or z-max arises when you have several items with such class. In my experience using z-index: 1 is enough in 99% of cases. It's a pity Leaflet uses high z-indices (I have experienced that myself with Leaflet, it sucks).

I think we should discourage a use of high index values, so 👎 from me. In those rare cases when you must use high indices, just add them to your config 🙂
