JavaScript Pocket Reference

top

The Y-coordinate of this layer relative to the containing layer

or document. Setting this property moves the layer up or

down.

top is a synonym for y.

visibility

A read/write string that specifies the visibility of the layer. The

three legal values are: “show”, “hide”, and “inherit”.

window

The Window object that contains the layer, regardless of how

deeply nested the layer is within other layers.

x, y

The X and Y-coordinates of the layer. x is a synonym for the

left property and y is a synonym for the top property.

zIndex

The position of the layer in the z-order, or stacking order, of

layers. When two layers overlap, the one with the higher

zIndex appears on top and obscures the one with the lower

zIndex. If two sibling layers have the same zIndex, the one

that appears later in the

layers[] array of the containing

document is displayed later and overlaps the one that appears

earlier.
