Check out this demo to see the problem:
I am trying to make the sub menu appear below the main menu. I also want to use JavaScript to slide the menu from underneath when hovering over the parent li element.
I don't really care about the JavaScript part, but I just can't figure out how to style the elements correctly to get the desired layering effect.
The issue arises because of the z-index applied to the parent element, causing the child element to stack relative to other elements within the same parent.
When you specify a z-index value for an element (other than auto), that element creates its own stacking context. This results in all descendants of the element having their own stacking order in relation to the ancestor element.
For example, if the parent has a z-index of 9 and the child has a z-index of 8, it's as if you are giving them a z-index of 9, 8 respectively.
You can refer to this article for a more detailed explanation.
To resolve this, try removing the z-index from the parent element and setting the sibling element to z-index: -1. This workaround may vary in different browsers, but it should work in Chrome at least.
Take a look at the updated fiddle for reference.
I hope this solution helps you out.
There is no need for it.
What you can do instead is transform the a element into a "Sign In" feature.
Consider implementing something similar to this: http://jsfiddle.net/5sqxQ/15/
You could try adjusting the position of the parent and sibling containers to relative. I have successfully used this technique in the past.
Take a glance at the guidelines below on how elements are stacked, and you'll be able to devise your own solution effortlessly.
For instance, as thirtydot mentioned, assign a position (either relative or absolute) and z-index: 1 to "Sign In" in .users > li > a.
