I'm working on a project and I decided to add a sidebar to show a little more information. I made the sidebar a child of the main body container, which is a 720px width div, and gave it a position: absolute, then set it's right position so that it appears at the left edge of the container. The body container has a box shadow, and I want the sidebar to look like it's coming out from under the container, so I set it's z-index to -100. Unfortunately, this makes the links that I put inside it unclickable, since I guess it's being covered by the body container. The thing is, the body is only 720px wide, it doesn't cover the whole page. How can I get it so that the sidebar is underneath the container, making the shadow from the body appear on top of the sidebar, but still have the links clickable?
I'll continue working on it, but here's the page I'm working on:
