I think he's wanting to change the behavior for the server's debug output at the bottom of the page vs. a <cfdump> tag ... z-index places objects with larger z-index values overlapping or on top of objects with lower z-index values... I'm trying to think of any way to change the default output at the bottom and nothing really leaps to my mind -- the big problem with this being that the output is typically below the closing </html> tag and there aren't any ID values on any of the elements to work with. Even using javascript I'm not sure if there's any way to reference the html elements below the closing </html> tag, since it's not within the "document." Even if you were to create an OnRequestEnd file with something like <div id="blah"> in it, you couldn't close that div without closing it above the top of the debugging output, which would mean there wouldn't be any way to apply css to it, etc...
My best guess: make sure that the tallest element on your page is not absolutely positioned ( so as to allow it's height to force the debugging output to display below it ) ... Say for instance: <body><img src="" width="0" height="500" style="visibility: hidden"> or <body><cfloop index="x" from="1" to="100"><br /></cfloop> Then your debug output will always be a certain given distance from the top, and if all the other elements are absolutely positioned div's neither of these lines will affed their display. hth S.
