Transparent Navigation Bar - not displaying background - html

I have a navigation bar which is transparent, and thus shows my gradient background at first. However when I scroll, it shows the text and/or pictures underneath, but I would like it to show the background and cover over the text. Main page: https://gyazo.com/6c5e35ca0ed4f6f37e9e72f490737c78 , scrolled down website: https://gyazo.com/9a2957d728e36ae23e0cd9af604e8de1; scrolled down more: https://gyazo.com/4849fb7f11689a5360e2e8686713d01d .
As you can see the navigation-bar is above everything - but I would like there to be a box around the navigation-bar which only shows the background when you scroll - if that makes sense - How would you do that? GIF showing scrolling problem: https://gyazo.com/6626f65e632e61127413c673d92a2cba

I do not know if i need to add a block which is like transparent for the background but not for the text/pictures in the html file?
Hopefully that is the relevant code so that you understand my problem and know how to possibly help me?
Thanks

Maybe you can achieve that by using JQuery. You can trigger a function that displays the border on the navigation bar whenever the page is scrolled. Here is the sample code.
$(window).scroll(function() {
var scroll = $(window).scrollTop();
if (scroll > 0) {
$('nav').css("border","1px solid black");
}
});

Alignment of Header and Nav Bar

I am just getting back to working with websites, and cannot for the life of me center this navigation bar. I have floated the header over to the left, and feel like I have tried every possibly property, but it just will not center. Any help would be very appreciated.
Not centered NavBar:
.container {
margin: 0 auto;
background-color: #fff;
}
.header-heading {
float: left;
padding-top: 8px;
padding-left: 5px;
color: #ddd;
font-size: 30px;
}
.nav-bar {
background: #000;
padding: 0;
width: 100%;
}
.nav {
margin: auto;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
text-align: center;
width: 100%;
}
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<title>Web Report Demo</title>
<styles></styles>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="ed.css">
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<h1 class="header-heading">Web Reporting Demo</h1>
<div class="nav-bar">
<ul class="nav">
<li>Daily Master</li>
<li>Route Progress</li>
<li>UL Move Query</li>
<li>Stock Query</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</body>
This should work
.container {
margin: 0 auto;
background-color: #000;
position:relative;
width: 100%;
height: 40px;
}
.header-heading {
position: absolute;
top:-20px;
left:5px;
color: #ddd;
font-size: 30px;
}
.nav-bar {
padding-top: 5px;
}
.nav {
margin: auto;
padding: 5px;
list-style: none;
text-align: center;
width: 100%;
}
.nav li {
display: inline;
padding: 5px;
}
.nav li a {
text-decoration: none;
color: #fff;
}
You will need to do some changes as you work in your responsive design.
Try giving the .container text-align: center.

CSS Dropdown menu not working?

I've been following this video online on how to create dropdown menu using css. I followed it and there's no any signs of a dropdown menu on my website. It's so frustrating because i want to get over with it so i can focus now on backend dev. Hope you guys can figure this one out.

Add this to your CSS :
It will help you to have the result you want. Of course there are still adaptations to do regarding your preferences.
/* Without this line, the submenu elements are black on black background */
#nav_menu .sub-menu li a {
color: #fff;
}
/* With this line you will remove the opacity:0; of the submenu when you hover the parent li */
#nav_menu li:hover .sub-menu {
opacity: 1;
}
/* Don't set a width so you have a better output */
#nav_menu li .sub-menu {
width: auto;
}
/* This lines make the submenu li dislay verticaly and not inline */
#nav_menu li .sub-menu li {
display: block;
}
Edit:
Instead of changing the opacity property to show/hide the submenu, you should use the display property.
Currently, the submenu is just transparent, but always opened. If your menu were bigger in height, you could open it by hovering the mouse on the slide at the location where it is when opened.
By using the display property, you're actually hiding it, and it will be opened only if you hover the menu element (as it should be).
To do this, you have to replace the opacity: 0; in your .sub-menu class by : display: none;
Then change the code opacity: 1; in the #nav_menu li:hover .sub-menu by : display: block; (in the code I gave you before).
It will be cleaner than handling it with the opacity.

Navbar Not Responding

I have a navbar on my webpage, I have also got information on my webpage. When I remove the information (paragraph and headings) the navbar functions perfectly. However when I place the information back, the navbar doesn't work whatsoever. Why does a website do this? Thanks.

When you added position fixed to container , you can add z-index on both container and nav divs for fix this in your way as you want.

padding: 0;

margin-top: 20px;
font-size: 25px;
display: inline-block;
position: fixed;
text-align: center;
z-index: 1;
}
Change this Css Hope it helps
Do not use position:fixed unless you want the element to NOT SCROLL with the page. This css settings is great for headers (navbars) that remain fixed to the screen/window and are always visible.
The other one that is similar to position:fixed is position:absolute, except that it will scroll up as the user scrolls down the page. However, both absolute and fixed allow you to use top left right bottom to precisely position the element on the screen. (One tip: the parent element must be either position:absolute or position:relative (relative is common).
Change position:fixed to position:relative for the <div class="container">

Can't get NAV LINKS to work

I can't get my navigation links to work, and I have no idea why. They used to work before, but after I added in a little bit more of coding.. they seem to have stopped.
Anyone have any idea why?

There are few CSS fixes that can be done
So nav elements (<a> tags) are floated, which means you must clear your floats. A quick way to do it would be to use overflow:hidden on parent element ( in this case, i'd go with ul which is #nav )
Also noticed some negative margins being applied on #nav element. Im not sure if it was a design decision -anyway, commenting them out will get the nav not to go out of screen.
And wherever possible - try to avoid giving fix height to elements.
below is ammended css for #nav
#nav {
/*height: 1px;*/
list-style: none;
padding-left: 14px;
text-align: center;
padding-bottom: 0px;
/*
margin: -14px;
margin-top: -15px;
*/
overflow:hidden;
}
Moving onto nav links #nav li a. Again, not sure if it is a design decision but position:relative; and top:-12px seems to break it.
#nav li a {

In your following css code, height of 1px is creating the problem. Make it 20-25px and check or just simply remove height:1px; if it doesn't affect your design.
#nav
{
height: 1px;
list-style: none;
padding-left: 14px;
text-align: center;
padding-bottom: 0px;
margin: -14px;
margin-top: -15px;
}

How to scale nav bar on resizing

I have a simple site so far but have two issues. I have done everything with percentages because the site might go up on a high def tv and i want them to scale well. The scaling works with the images but id also like to scale the navbar background and text so that it doesnt end up looking small.
The second issue is When the site is squished the bottom image covers the nav bar and doesn't flow under the nav bar element. Id just like this feature because it would scale well for smartphones.
Here is the html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="headish.css">
<title>New Site</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">
<div id="tophead">
<img src="images/logo.png" alt="logo" />
<ul>
<li>About Us</li>
<li>Biographies</li>
<li>Services</li>
<li>Careers</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="maincont">
<img src="images/second.png" alt="image">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Here is the css:
html, body, #container {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
margin: 0;
position: relative;
}
#tophead {
height: 20%;
width: 80%;
margin: auto;
text-align: center;
}
#tophead img {
height: 100%;
width: auto%;
}
#tophead ul {
list-style: none;
display: inline-block;
font-size: 0;
}
#tophead li {
display: inline-block;
}
#tophead a {
background: #2dbaf0;
color: #fff;
display: block;
font-size: 16px;
font-family: "arial";
font-weight: bold;
padding: 0 20px;
line-height: 38px;
text-transform: uppercase;
text-decoration: none;
}
#tophead a:hover {
background: #f8a52b;
color: #fff;
-webkit-transition-property: background;
-webkit-transition-duration: .2s;
-webkit-transition-timing-function: linear;
}
#tophead li:first-child a {
border-left: none;
border-radius: 5px 0 0 5px;
}
#tophead li:last-child a {
border-right: none;
border-radius: 0 5px 5px 0;
}
#maincont {
padding-left: 10%;
}
#maincont img{
border-radius: 7%;
width: 30%;
}
To stop the image from flowing into other elements, use clear:both on your #maincontent img
Edit : A good article can be found on it here which suggests other methods. http://quirksmode.org/css/clearing.html
Edit2: This only applys to floated elements, I have just noticed you havn't used floats atall. See my comment below
