I'm trying to figure out how to bring the .highlight element to the front.
<body>
<p>bla bla</p>
<p class="light">highligh this</p>
</body>
CSS
body{
background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);
opacity: 0.35; /* Safari, Opera */
-moz-opacity:0.70; /* FireFox */
filter: alpha(opacity=70); /* IE */
z-index: 20;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
}
p{
color: #fff;
}
