jQuery's $('#divOne').animate({zIndex: -1000}, 2000) does not work?

Question

I tried jQuery\'s

$(\'#divOne\').animate({zIndex: -1000}, 2000)

to that element which has a z-index of 1000, but it is still above the othe

You cannot animate the zindex. You can set it using .css.

$("#divOne").css('z-index' , '-1000');
