Here is the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/6Lk4s/

<div class="box">
    <div class="c1"></div>
    <div class="c2"></div>
</div>

I try to display .c1 and .c2 behind .box (so box has a higher z-index and all three classes have position:relative set), but I can’t get it to show up this way.

What is my error?

    .c1 and .c2 are part of .box (as they are child element of it) if you want them to be behind it they have to be separated elements

    Also to position behind .box the easiest way is to position absolute them see: http://jsfiddle.net/6Lk4s/1/

    For more documentation on how z-index works see the w3c spec thanks to @Joseph Silber: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/zindex.html#painting-order
