I have that problem, that on my header the box shadow isn’t visible because my navigation content lays on top of it, event though my header has a higher z-index. I cant’t see what exactly is the issue here, shouldn’t this work? Here is an example of my issue:
<code><!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Sticky Element with Navigation</title>
<style>
body {
margin: 0;
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
}
.sticky-header {
position: sticky;
top: 0;
z-index: 1000; /* Ensure this is high enough */
background: white;
box-shadow: 0px 3px 6px rgba(0, 0, 0, .16);
padding: 10px;
}
.absolute-nav-wrapper {
position: absolute;
top: 100%;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
z-index: -1; /* Ensure this is lower than the sticky header */
}
.navigation {
background: white;
padding: 10px;
}
.content {
padding: 20px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="sticky-header">

<div class="absolute-nav-wrapper">
<div class="navigation">

</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="content">
<p>Page content goes here...</p>
<p>More content...</p>
</div>
</body>
</html></code>

<code><div class="absolute-nav-wrapper">
<div class="navigation">

<div class="absolute-nav-wrapper">
<div class="navigation">

</div>
the shadow shows up again.
