[jQuery] Re: Scale "&" symbol in line of text

by the way, z-index controls layer order and wouldn't have much impact
if the elements were all displayed inline.

if think of your elements as being made up of sheets of paper stacked
ontop of each other z-index is their order in that stack. the default
behaviour is the first element in the source has the lowest z-index
and the last has the highest - if you had two absolutely positioned
elements overlapping the one with the highest z-index would be nearest
the top of the 'pile'.
