CSS drop-down menu with gradient

Question

CSS drop-down menu with gradient

I have a corner menu with a gradient below it that extends to the top edge. I also have a subnav that has another gradient that runs under the main navigation gradient. Everything looks right, but when you try to roll over to select from the drop-down menu, it will not allow you to go to the next item in the main menu. I know this is a z-index problem, but I cannot figure out how to make it look and function correctly.

Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this issue.

I have this on jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/jollyrogerd/EwFHY/3/

#cssmenu > ul li:not(:hover) {
    z-index: -101;
}

This gives all menu items that do not depend z-indexon -101. This means that when it hangs, it no longer has z-index-101, which makes it above the submenu, but others that do not overhang will still be below the submenu and cannot be from there from there.

He fixes the problem and it still looks amazing.

This menu looks amazing;)
