ZIndexStackingContext [term] v1.0.0
A stacking context is a three-dimensional conceptualization of HTML elements along an imaginary z-axis perpendicular to the viewport. The
z-indexproperty is meaningful only WITHIN a stacking context — child elements with a higher z-index than another sibling will paint on top, but a stacking context boundary isolates that ordering from the rest of the page. Misunderstanding stacking contexts is the most common cause of 'why is z-index: 9999 still behind something' bugs.
