Could well be.

Usually I increment the z-index over all the others
and don't bother with a theoretical overflow.

Is there a maximum z-index value btw?

I asked the same one time somewhere. I didn't get an answer based on
standards. The answer I did get was ridiculously high. Google maps
uses something like up to a trillion for those little bubbles that
show where things are located.

Does anyone else have ideas on this one ? (a light weight drag and
drop lib? )

Thanks again for all the responses

For ECMAScript version of ActionScript the limit is 10487575 - after
that DOM methods are getting dizzy.

For JScript the display doesn't react on z-index difference for values
above the standard uint precision border of 0xFFFFFFFF (4294967295)
but it neither works for lower values like 4294967290
At the same time it still reacts on values above sint (2147483647)
That suggests that like in ActionScript the limit is not based on some
physical borders but was just off-head chosen by the particular UA
team.

Why would it act on scripts?

This is DOM and CSS, not scripting, methinks, so IE and FF.

True.

And not Opera, Mozilla, Netscape, Safari or any other browser?

True, but not scripting, I think.

I made a simple one here, if this is what you want and in case you
want to use it:

Your JavaScript fails miserably when the LIs have a display type of "inline." Better yet,
it is unreliable.

As it also retains the single-click moves an LI's position. Was that intentional?
