there is no limit.

Micro$quash does indicate there is any limit.

JavaScripts max value is approximately 1.79769e+308

There are not exactly min/max values...(it will accept any values you enter....)

But...(you expected this right?)

Values that are either < -50 or > 50 will not be taken into account anymore....it will show the same as a layer with z-index 50 or -50....

Hope this sheds some light...

Max.

Where did you get this 50 value from out of interest?

Experience..... :-)

Max.

found it out one time when I needed more layers....

But the general way for me to use layers and z-index...is not to set any....just place your layers in the order they need to appear on the page...so lowest z-index at the top of your document and highest z-index on the bottom of your document...

Cheers,
Max.

This question is still open today, perhaps it was overlooked or just lost in the volumes.  Please return to this question to update it with comments if more information is needed to get your solution.  If you've been helped by the participating expert(s), you may just convert their comment to the accepted answer and then grade and close.  If an answer has ever been proposed you may not have this option to accept the comment as answer, if that is the case, ask the specific expert you wish to award to post an answer.  This benefits others who then search our PAQ for just this solution, and rewards the experts who have provided information.  A win/win scenario.
 
If you wish to award multiple participants, you can do so by creating a zero point question in the Community Support topic area, include this link and tell them which experts you'd like to award what amounts.  If you'd like to delete this question, use the same process as above, but explain why you think it should be deleted.  Here is the Community Support link:   http://www.experts-exchange.com/jsp/qList.jsp?ta=commspt

I've had excellent help from experts-exchange through the years and find the real key to getting what I need is to remain active in all my questions, responding with results to suggestions until my solution is found, and recommend that highly.
 
Thank you very much for your responsiveness, it is very much appreciated.

why would anyone ever need more than 100 z-index values anyway?

8 open questions, 6 B's graded in the last 10, a question only worth 10 points, guess I shouldn't be surprised at this one only getting a B without any comments asking for more detail (http://www.experts-exchange.com/jsp/cmtyQuestAnswer.jsp#3).

Glad to help anyway.

Gets zero help from me from now on.

Greetings, rhinosaur.

Thank you for returning and finalizing this question.  However, in all fairness to the experts who spend their time helping, I'd like to point out a few things, and can correct this grade to an A for you.

First, these links about this site, to provide you additional information on the process within Experts-Exchange.  I'd also like to add that "easy" points typically begin at a value of 50 points, you offered 10, and still experts quickly stepped in to help.  Regardless of the grades you choose, the point value remains the same for you, but in terms of awarding experts for their contributions to your questions, the higher the grade, the better the expert point achievement.  When choosing the B grade, you paid 10 points which equals 30 to the expert, an A would have been 40 for the expert, still less than the amount recommended for easy questions.
