zindex

I am trying to style a element with the :before CSS property

a.someSelector{position:relative; z-index:1;}

a.someSelector:after{position:relative; z-index:0; content:" "; position:absolute; width:100px; height:100px;}

It seems like the :after element can not be lower then the element itself.

Is there a way [hack] to have the pseudo element lower then the element itself?

Thanks

Poll: CSS3 color transparency

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
Many of you already know that you can express colors in your stylesheets like: color: #FFF; color: #FFFFFF; color: rgb(255,255,255); color: hsl(100%,100%,100%); and that you can use rgba() and hsla() to express color transparency. Do you think it would be a good idea to be able to express color… >>> More
