Z-Index

Z-Index 09/15/2004 05:47 AM

Over on webst andards.org I found a link to a guide to z-index according to the CSS2.1 specification. Click here to see this guide.

I mention it because it accuses both the Gecko and KHTML engines of violating the CSS spec, but in reality the author simply does not understand how auto z-index works in CSS2.1.

Stacking contexts are established in three ways in modern browsers:

(1) The root element gets a context.
(2) Elements with opacity < 1.0 establish a stacking context (and a z-index of auto is changed to 0).
(3) A positioned element with a z-index other than auto establishes a stacking context.

In other words, being positioned (absolute/fixed/relative) does not mean you establish a stacking context! You must also have a non-auto z-index.

The normal flow contents of positioned elements with auto z-index are sorted in an enclosing stacking context as though they had z-index 0. Document order breaks ties. This is specified in section 9.9.1 of the CSS2.1 specification.

... a stacking level for positioned descendants with 'z-index: auto', and any descendant stacking contexts with 'z-index: 0'...

So in this example you have 4 blocks, two of them relatively positioned and two absolutely positioned.

The two relative positioned blocks each contain absolute positioned descendants. Because the two RP blocks have the same z-index (auto), they are sorted in document order. RP1 is therefore below RP2. AP1, the absolute positioned block inside RP1, has a z-index of 1. This guarantees it will be above both RP1 and RP2, since it is sorted in the root element's stacking context at a z-index of 1. RP1 and RP2 render just above the normal flow (z-index 0) level of the root stacking context, and therefore will always be below AP1 if it has a positive z-index defined.

Therefore the assertion that AP1 should render below RP2 is false, and Mozilla and Safari have the correct rendering.

In this example, Safari 1.2 on Panther does violate the spec regarding the positioning of AP2. AP2 should render above RP1 and RP2 in the example but below AP1. Internal Safaris actually render this correctly (we fixed this bug a long time ago actually), so future releases of Safari will be correct.

In the next example, both Mozilla and Safari have the correct rendering. The claim that only IE gets it right is false. IE gets it wrong. The RP blocks have a z-index of auto, and so they are below all of the absolute positioned blocks with positive z-indices in the root's stacking context.

The following quote should additionally make this clear. It's also from the CSS2.1 spec, section 9.9.1.

The root element forms the root stacking context. Other stacking contexts are generated by any positioned element (including relatively positioned elements) having a computed value of 'z-index' other than 'auto'.

In other words, when a block has auto z-index, it does not act as a stacking context for other positioned descendants.

So in the next example, Mozilla and Safari are once more correct. Because RP1 now establishes a stacking context, AP1 is sorted only within RP1's stacking context. RP1 is then sorted with AP2 in the root's stacking context. RP1 has a z-index of 11 and AP2 has a z-index of 20, so RP1 is below AP2. RP1 and AP2 are both above RP2 of course because RP2 has an auto z-index, and therefore is just above normal flow content in the root stacking context (at the 0 z-index level).

I hope this helps clarify how z-index works in modern browsers. As usual, track back if you have questions.

Giving away the index

Giving away the index 06/05/2005 11:35 PM

My final year project is due in two weeks, and I'm going to be running on silent for most of them. I have, however, upgraded to Tiger and playing with Spotlight has given me plenty to think about.

Giving away the index

The great benefit of having an electronic version of a book you own in dead-tree format to hand is that you can search it. Publishers generally don't hand out free digital copies because, well, they want you to buy the books, not freely distribute electronic copies.

The thing is, you don't need a digital copy of a book to be able to search it; you just need a full-text index of it (if you don't understand what this means, go and read Tim Bray's series O n Search). An index isn't enough to reconstruct the book, but it is enough to answer questions like "on what pages of Eric Meyer on CSS are float layouts discussed?"

Imagine if technical publishers made binary full-text index files of their titles available for download, for free in some kind of open standard format. Readers could query them using Spotlight or similar technologies, and gain the ability to search the titles they own all without needing to rely on centralised, artificially limited services such as Amazon's Search Inside the Book.

O'Reilly, I'm looking at you.

Full-text phishing

On a darker note, one thing about Spotlight that has given me pause is the immense ease with which it can uncover passwords saved amongst my email. Lost password reminders, new account details, invitations to sign up for services - they're all hidden away in my mail archive. Spotlight makes it trivial to dig them back up again, and offers the APIs for applications to do so as well. Combine this with a piece of spyware / some trojan horse and you've got the ultimate vector for phishing attacks.

This problem isn't limited to Macs either; Google and MSN's Desktop Search engines could be used for much the same purpose, and full-text search is bound to end up built in to Windows sooner or later. For the moment, the safest thing to do is either delete those pesky emails or move them to a folder that is excluded from Spotlight's index. Somehow I doubt many people will think to take such precautions.

And with that off my chest, it's time to get back to my dissertation.

Jon Udell speculates on what our OS would do if Google wrote it instead of Microsoft: On the Google PC, you wouldn’t need third-party add-ons to index and search your local files, e-mail, and instant messages. It would just happen. The voracious spider wouldn’t stop there, though. The next piece of low-hanging fruit would be the Web pages you visit. These too would be stored, indexed, and made searchable. More ambitiously, the spider would record all your screen activity along with the underlying event streams. ... Interesting idea! And couldn't we implement enough of this to test its usefulness pretty...

CC search index breakdown

CC search index breakdown 03/14/2005 06:06 PM

Folks love a license distribution breakdown, so here's another, this from the current index of 1.2 million pages (larger crawls forthcoming) used by the Creative Commons search engine:

	Allows commercial use	Allows derivative works	Allows both
Audio	32	78	32
Image	19	48	16
Interactive	31	65	27
Text	28	69	23
Video	13	65	12
All	27	70	23

All numbers in the above table are percentages: 32 percent of pages marked as containing audio content use licenses that allow commercial use, 78 percent allow derivatives, and 32 percent allow both. In the case of audio works, almost nobody has chosen to allow commercial use without also allowing derivatives.

It appears that people licensing audio have chosen to offer more liberal terms than average while those licensing still and moving images have chosen less liberal terms than average.

When during the week is the demand for broadband services highest? Which states have the highest and lowest demand? How does demand breakdown among demographic groups? The BuyTelco Broadband Index (BBI) answers these questions and more with its monthly roundup of connectivity trends for high-speed Internet including DSL, cable, and satellite across the USA. In the month of December 2003 we find that demand is highest at the beginning of the week, with demand peaking on Tuesday. On a state-by-state basis, we find highest demand for broadband in Utah, and lowest demand in Alaska.
