13695	Calculate baseFloatZIndex on the fly	Jonathan		"On our site CKEditor is embedded in locations with different z-index values.  It is difficult to manage the different baseFloatZIndex values for each editor.  We have to keep various css declarations and baseFloatZIndex values in sync.

It would be ideal for CKEditor to dynamically determine the correct z-index of a popup element on the fly whenever it is displayed.

One approach would be to just walk up the tree looking for a parent node with a z-index value that has position (fixed, relative, absolute).  Since CKEditor based popups are attached to the document.body directly, you would need to traverse the editor's ancestors to find the earliest element with z-index that has position.  The baseFloatZIndex would then just be a single z-index greater.
