I've run into a small problem with z-indexing.
I have a header and inside that a link. The header has a z-index of 5, and the link has a z-index of 15. When I open up a modal, the dark overlay should be above the header, so I gave it a z-index of 10. The problem is that the link within the header should be above the overlay, but it's behind it. I've even given the link a position of relative, but it does nothing.
Can anyone help me with this problem?

This is impossible as a child's z-index is set to the same stacking index as its parent.
How to get a child element to show behind (lower z-index) than its parent? is to: Make the parent not a stacking context. Make the child a positioned stacking context , whose z-index smaller than 0.
No, it isn't inherited.
The z-index of elements inside of a stacking context are always relative to the parent's current order in its own stacking context.
Z index with an Image. As you can see in the above which ever z index value is greater that is always overlapping lower index value box. Z index in CSS property is used to put the any element on top of the other element. But Z index can be applied with only positioned element like absolute, relative and sticky etc.
An element with greater stack order is always in front of an element with a lower stack order. Note: z-index only works on positioned elements (position: absolute, position: relative, position: fixed, or position: sticky).
This is impossible as a child's z-index is set to the same stacking index as its parent. You have already solved the problem by removing the z-index from the parent, keep it like this or make the element a sibling instead of a child. Nothing is impossible.
Making a child <div> element wider than the parent <div> can be done with some CSS properties. In the example below, we set the position of the parent <div> to “static”, which means that elements are placed according to the document’s normal flow. Here, we add the width of the parent container and specify its background-color and margin as well.
z-index is relative to the siblings within the same parent. you will have to take the <a> out of the <header> to create the desired effect.
If the parent has lower z-index than the modal, everything in it will be behind the modal, regardless of the children's z-index
Please also attach a jsFiddle or something so we can show you how to fix this.
