Dropdown items are hidden by navbar in bootstrap

I am building a web page using bootstrap 3 and I am facing a problem with multiple fixed navbars. I have arranged the fixed navbars one after the another and the issue I am facing is, the dropdown in the first fixed navbar is not fully visible as the second fixed navbar is hiding it.

I tried setting the z-index of the dropdown to a higher value but, it did not work.

Fiddler: https://jsfiddle.net/99x50s2s/152/

enter image description here

Code:

<nav class="navbar navbar-default navbar-fixed-top">
  <div class="container-fluid">
      <img src="https://cdn4.iconfinder.com/data/icons/SUPERVISTA/animals/png/48/swallow_bird.png"></img>
    <ul class="nav navbar-nav pull-right">       
        <li class="dropdown">
          <a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" role="button" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">Action Links <span class="caret"></span></a>
          <ul class="dropdown-menu">
            <li><a href="#">Action</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">Another action</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">Something else here</a></li>
            <li role="separator" class="divider"></li>
            <li><a href="#">Separated link</a></li>
          </ul>
        </li>
      </ul>
  </div>
</nav>
<nav class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-fixed-top nav2">
  <div class="container-fluid">
      <p class="navbar-text">Instruction will appear here...</p>
  </div>
</nav>

Expectation:

The dropdown items should be visible above the second fixed navbar. Any suggestion is appreciated.

You can make enclose both navbars so they are fixed and you have some HTML that should be adjusted See Docs.

See example Snippet.

.navbar .navbar-brand {
  padding: 1px 5px;
  margin: 0;
  height: 30px;
}
.navbar.navbar-top {
  margin-bottom: 0;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<nav class="navbar-fixed-top">
  <div class="navbar navbar-default navbar-static-top navbar-top">
    <div class="container-fluid">
      <div class="navbar-header">
        <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#bs-nav" aria-expanded="false"> <span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
          <span class="icon-bar"></span>
          <span class="icon-bar"></span>
          <span class="icon-bar"></span>

        </button>
        <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">
          <img src="https://cdn4.iconfinder.com/data/icons/SUPERVISTA/animals/png/48/swallow_bird.png"></img>
        </a>

      </div>
      <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="bs-nav">
        <ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
          <li class="dropdown"> <a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" role="button" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">Action Links <span class="caret"></span></a>

            <ul class="dropdown-menu">
              <li><a href="#">Action</a>

              </li>
              <li><a href="#">Another action</a>

              </li>
              <li><a href="#">Something else here</a>

              </li>
              <li role="separator" class="divider"></li>
              <li><a href="#">Separated link</a>

              </li>
            </ul>
          </li>
        </ul>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-static-top">
    <div class="container-fluid">
      <p class="navbar-text">Instruction will appear here...</p>
    </div>
  </div>
</nav>

Try something like the following fiddle:

https://jsfiddle.net/99x50s2s/155/

I've added some CSS:

#actionlinks{
  position:relative;
  z-index:50;
}
.nav2{
  position:relative;
  z-index:30;
}

and ID to the actionLinks

I decreased the z-index of the bottom navbar to a negative value and it worked.

 <nav class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-fixed-top nav2" style="z-index:-100;">
  <div class="container-fluid">
      <p class="navbar-text">Instruction will appear here...</p>
  </div>
</nav>

Can you change the order of the elements in the DOM ? If so, just put .navbar-fixed-top2 before .navbar-fixed-top.

As in https://jsfiddle.net/99x50s2s/154/
