I have a dropdown menu from the navbar, triggered by a toggle button. I added a triangle above the navbar-collapse to show it pointing to the trigger button. It works fine on larger screens but on mobile it keeps getting pushed behind the navbar. I've tried working with z-index but to no avail.

I've made the triangle on mobile in grey (instead of white like on desktop) to show contrast.
On mobile resolutions, you can reset the overflow rule declared for .navbar-collapse.in to visible.
CSS
.navbar-collapse.in {
overflow-y: visible;
}

I have created a fixed-top bootstrap 4 navbar that is expanded on large screens, and collapsed on the others. I have also added padding-top to the <body> to prevent the navbar from overlapping the main body content.
However, on smaller screens when the collapsed navbar is expanded using the hamburger button, it expands and fills the screen. Some of the nav-links then become hidden (i.e. outside the display). Moreover,scrolling does not scroll the navbar, but only the main body content which is beneath the navbar.
Is it possible to compress the navbar to not take up more than the screen size? Or, how do I enable a scrollable navbar?
Added pictures below to show the issue.
Here is a snap in mobile view without expanding the navbar:
And here is the snap to illustrate the problem that the navbar takes up the whole viewport, and that there are still links but "outside" the display:
Here is JSFiddle if needed:

Edit:
After using the answer provided by #Zim, I now face a different problem. In the desktop screen, the navbar is displayed properly. However, when I click on the nav-items/nav-links which pop open a dropdown list, the dropdown list stays within the navbar and there is a scroll bar for scrolling the navbar. How do I make the dropdown menu to show over the navbar content, while at the same time it can be scrolled but only when the navbar is collapsed.
I've included a picture to show what I mean:
The scrollbar seen in the picture is for the navbar.
Set a max-height on the .navbar-collapse that's equal to viewport height minus the body top padding...
body {
overflow: hidden;
}
.fixed-top .navbar-collapse {
max-height: calc(100vh - 4.5em);
overflow-y: auto;
}

So before this problem, I was struggling to make the navbar scroll on smaller screens when expanded. SO link: responsive fixed-top navbar when expanded fills up screen, hides some of the nav-links, and does not scroll
Using the answer in that question, I was able to make the navbar scroll but I was then faced with a new issue. When clicked on the navbar link, the dropdown menu that popped up would stay within the navbar container, and the navbar could be scrolled.
A picture to explain (OLE dropdown in this case):
This is the CSS used to make the collapsed navbar scrollable.
.fixed-top .navbar-collapse {
max-height: calc(100vh - 4.5em);
overflow-y: auto;
}
There is no problem when navbar collapsed and it can show the dropdown menu fine and scroll. But, when not collapsed on larger screen, how do i make the dropdown menu show outside the navbar container?
Here's my JSFiddle for this problem: https://jsfiddle.net/suhaib47/7b58o0d3/3/
Note: make the result viewport wide enough that navbar can be fully displayed. Click on the OLE dropdown, and you will have to scroll down to see the dropdown menu.
When I show the dropdown menu outside the container, the menu cannot be scrolled on smaller screens. When the menu CAN be scrolled, I cannot get the dropdown menu to show outside the nav container.
How do I make the dropdown menu show outside the navbar container? At the same time I'd like the responsive navbar to be scrollable when expanded on smaller screens.
I found a similar SO question but could not get it to fix my problem: The navbar dropdown menu does not beyond the container
Hoped there would be a solution to this without having to use media queries. Nevertheless, I was indeed able to fix this using media query.
#media only screen and (max-height: 450px) {
.fixed-top .navbar-collapse {
max-height: calc(100vh - 4.5em);
overflow-y: auto;
}
}
This way scrolling is available when needed, depending on the display size/orientation, i.e. when the navbar menu is collapsed.
I'm working on a website, I have implemented the inverted navbar from bootstrap taken from here :
https://getbootstrap.com/components/#navbar
I haven't modified it, but when its resized to a smaller window in computer browser, or when viewed on a mobile phone, when you clicked the "3 bars icon" for expanding the menu it's not showing all of the menu buttons ().
I have tried to change the CSS but without any luck.
What is it that I should look for to change, or why is it not showing all items from the menu?
This is the website itself: https:/dh-automotive.com
find this in your style.css file:
.nav {
width: 90%;
float: right;
max-height: 65px;
min-width: 680px
}
remove max-height and min-width lines.
Overall, your CSS is incredibly messy, how did you manage to get it to this state? What are you using to build this website?
I have a navigation bar which does not scroll after display in responsive mode.
I will provide you with a link to my website: WebSite Link with navigation bar example
Just resize the window to a maximum of 500px and click the navigation to open menu.
Click the submenu's and you will see that it will not display all of the navigation content and also displaying over the website's content.
I want to make it show all its height and push down content also.
Well, the submenus are too long to be displayed, so the people who created the theme/template made these dropdown containers 200px high and enabled scrolling in them (you CAN scroll down in them). This is written in the following CSS rule:
.menu > ul > li > ul {
position: relative;
overflow: scroll;
height: 200px !important;
}
You can take out the last part, which will show the fill length. However, this will go beyond the bottom of the screen and NOT scroll, so you'll be better off with the given situation. You can also change the pixel value in height: 200px !important; - this will make the submenus a bit higher, but that doesn't make it much better.
I would leave it as it is and maybe add an icon that makes it more obvious that the content of the dropdowns can be scrolled.
HTML page has a background image. Nav menu on left expands on hover to reveal elements. Menu has transparent background.
When the menu grows it clips the background image and moves it down the page behind the menu.
Reduced it to this: http://jsfiddle.net/GgXXh/
Is the background clipping expected behaviour that I don't understand, or is this a browser bug (Firefox 9)?
It seems to requires that the body be set overflow-y: scroll and the menu float: left to trigger.
Really looks like FF bug. Reproduces with FF 7 also.
Reproduces also without overflow-y: scroll on body.
On Chrome works well.
Changing background-position to top center fixes the clipping and moving down on the background:
