I actually said this as a joke one time and to know that it's an actual thing is so awesome!

Unbeatable you say... top-layer would have something to say about that 😜. Jokes aside, top layer is the best part about popover. No more z-index wrangling.

My first thought was does `z-index: calc(infinity + 1);` work 😂 (it doesn't)

Keith Henry · Nov 22

I can beat it easily with `popover`

Jonathan Blair · Nov 22

I’ll stick to z-index: 999999999999; like god intended

Reminds me of "WORLD WAR Z-INDEX: Restoration of sanity to revisions/slider/menu z-index values": core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/24...

Sometimes, pushing up the z-index doesn’t solves my problem. I also throw an isolation isolate and nothing happens. Then I just give up or bring in a portal

Just gonna be sitting here for a while, stuck on the concept of calc-ing infinity.

Use max() for extra effect. It will work the same, but it feels more powerful ;P

Ben Brignell · Nov 21

Immediately tried: z-index: calc(infinity + 1);

Sean · Nov 22

Haven't we known since the 1920's that some infinities are bigger than others? Is this why hotel sites always have terrible CSS?

Simon Fraser · Nov 21

z-index is never unbeatable; it’s contained within its enclosing stacking context, so some other stacking context can get on top.

Wild that it took this post for me to be curious enough to look into how z-index ties are resolved codepen.io/eeeps/pen/GR...

Top layer be like

Does infinity + 1 work though?
