When dealing with script-generated code that lacks specific class names or ids, a useful approach is to utilize a JavaScript function to navigate through child elements until reaching the desired node and then assigning a class to it. I recently encountered this scenario myself and had to employ loops and conditional statements to achieve my goal of styling multiple elements generated by the script. While this process may seem complex, it allows for dynamic manipulation of elements without predefined identifiers.
If you find yourself in a similar situation, consider exploring methods like those outlined in this helpful resource which provides insights on targeting individual elements within nested structures using JavaScript.
[UPDATE]
Another aspect to consider when working with z-index properties is the necessity of removing conflicting styles such as float declarations. Simply applying absolute positioning may not suffice if float positioning is present in the script-generated code. To ensure smooth layering of elements, clearing unnecessary styling attributes before applying custom CSS can be beneficial.

const listRows = document.getElementById("extHGrid").childNodes;
let listUsers = [];
for (let r = 0; r < listRows.length; r++) {
if (listRows[r] !== undefined && listRows[r].children !== null && listRows[r].children[0] !== undefined) {
listUsers.push(listRows[r].children[0]);
}
}
console.log(listUsers);
let listTimers = [];
for (let t = 0; t < listUsers.length; t++) {
if (listUsers[t] !== undefined && listUsers[t].children !== null) {
listTimers.push(listUsers[t].lastElementChild);
}
}
console.log(listTimers);
let listUserIdentity = [];
for (let u = 0; u < listUsers.length; u++) {
if (listUsers[u] !== undefined && listUsers[u].children !== null) {
listUserIdentity.push(listUsers[u].children[1]);
}
}
console.log(listUserIdentity);
