CSS-exclusive dropdown menu elements peeking out

I have been working on a CSS-only drop-down menu and I am encountering an issue where other content seems to be showing through. Despite my efforts, I can't figure out why this is happening.

If you would like to take a look, here is the link: http://jsfiddle.net/uQveP/4/

Could someone please provide some insight into what I may be doing incorrectly? CSS is not my strong suit and I could use some guidance.

The drop-down menu is appearing in the correct position, but there seems to be some overlap with other "test" links that should ideally be hidden by the dropdown. Referencing the image, the bottom two "test" links should not be visible when the dropdown is active.

TIA (Thanks In Advance)

Answer №1

(On my 2nd try)

Alright, to clarify, all you have to do is adjust the z-index values for the UL elements:

.drop-menu-header ul, .drop-menu-content ul {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style-type: none;
  float: right;
  text-align: right;
}

.drop-menu-header ul li, .drop-menu-content ul li {
  display: block;
  position: relative;
  /*POOF*/
}

.drop-menu-header ul li ul, .drop-menu-content ul li ul {
  display: none;
  right: 0;
  /*SHAZAAM!*/
  z-index: 5;
}

.drop-menu-header ul li a {
  display: block;
  white-space: nowrap;
  color: #fff;
}

.drop-menu-content ul li a {
  display: block;
  white-space: nowrap;
}

.drop-menu-header ul li a img.fake-button, .drop-menu-content ul li a img.fake-button {
  padding: 0;
}

.drop-menu-header ul ul li a, .drop-menu-content ul ul li a {
  padding: 5px 15px;
}

.drop-menu-header span {
  padding: 5px 15px;
  display: block;
  white-space: nowrap;
  color: #fff;
}

.drop-menu-content span {
  padding: 5px 15px;
  display: block;
  white-space: nowrap;
}

.drop-menu-header ul li span a, .drop-menu-content ul li span a {
  padding: 0;
  display: inline;
  white-space: nowrap;
}

.drop-menu-header li:hover ul, .drop-menu-content li:hover ul {
  display: block;
  position: absolute;
  border: 1px solid #999999;
}

.drop-menu-header li:hover li {
  float: none;
  background-color: #5c87b2;
}

.drop-menu-content li:hover li {
  float: none;
  background-color: #fff;
}
