How to find the highest z-index using jQuery

I have a number of div elements with different z-index. And I want to find the highest z-index among these divs - how can I achieve it?

Answer 1

This would do it:

$(document).ready(function() {
    var array = [];
    $("div").each(function() {
        array.push($(this).css("z-index"));
    });
    var index_highest = Math.max.apply(Math, array);
    alert(index_highest);
});

Try this
