Fixed Navigation Bars - html

I'm currently in the middle of experimenting with creating web pages and have come across a problem when trying to make a fixed navigation bar to the top of a web page while scrolling.
I'm able to get the navigation bar fixed to the page using
position:fixed;
but, the problem i'm having is the content below the nav bar (Main content) is pushing to the top of the page instead of staying directly underneath my fixed nav.
I've tried using margins to correct this problem, but doesn't seem to be working.
Thanks in advance

When you use position:fixed you removed the affected element from the actual flow of the document.
The quickest and most effective work around is to wrap your content in a div and displace it from the top of the page by the same amount as your nav...
<div class="fixed">my nav stuff</div>
<div class="my-pushed-content">my content is here</div>
css:
.fixed {
position:fixed; height: 50px;
}
.my-pushed-content {
position: relative //or absolute depending on your needs
top: 50px;
}
Hope this helps!

How to stop a certain part of html page from scrolling?

I'm trying to copy the twitter websites homepage but I have a problem with the side section scrolling.
This is the right side section I created/copied from twitter homepage right side section
and it won't stop scrolling until it reaches the max height of the page, I also tried setting the height/max-height to it's only true height (1308px) and it doesn't work.
I only use HTML and CSS by the way and does not want to put JS. Is there a solution using only HTML and CSS?
in your html:
<div id="footer">some elements here</div>
and in your css:
#footer {
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
bottom: 0;
}

Fix Position DIV not Overlapping content

I am having an issue getting my fixed position navigation menu to overlap my text, a example of this is: http://www.saveur.com/michel-roux-scrambled-eggs-with-asparagus-and-crab-recipe
With the code I have currently managed the fixed position navigation appears behind the text, but I want it to be at the top and overlapping at all times, just like the website above.
All of the content is fixed position, I have made this so that if any one could help me they could just edit the code easier.
HTML: http://pastebin.com/j7jHjb4h
CSS: http://pastebin.com/sWuLChut
How can I make it so that the navigation menu stays at the top even when scrolling down just like the website above.
Just add a z-index value to the fixed element:
z-index:100;
If larger than any other z-index on the same level, it will overlap everything as needed.
#navMenu {
margin:0;
width:200px;
height: 1px;
z-index: 1000;
}
You could try to give it a high z-index

allow scroll of div set behind another div

I have a iPad frame and want to have a larger image behind it (the page content) that scrolls down as you scroll. My css is more complicated then the example in the fiddle here https://jsfiddle.net/vk0jk37v/ but I cant seem to get even this to work.
in my real webpage I want to scroll down normally until I get to this image, then I want the scroll to effect the "page content" in this image. After I want to allow the user to continue scrolling normally after the "page content" of the image ends.
Edit: I have updated the fiddle and it rough but essentially what I am looking for except when I set the iPad frame to be on top of the image I am unable to get the content to scroll. the reason I need it under is to keep the image together when resizing the window with out covering the "fixed nav" or black side lines. Any thoughts on this? and thank you Felk for the hint in the right direction
Edit2: the image attached is the context in which I am applying this.
example html
<div class="container">
<img class="frame" src="http://s11.postimg.org/44ejhu0jn/ipad_frame_780.png" />
<div class="inner">
<img src="http://s11.postimg.org/xtwbnx937/ipad_content_660.png" />
</div>
</div>
example css
.container {
width: 70%;
position: relative;
}
.frame {
/* position: absolute; */
width: 100%;
z-index: 100;
}
.inner {
height: 558px;
overflow: scroll;
position: absolute;
top: 14%;
left: 38px;
}
.inner img {
width: 92%;
z-index: -100;
}
Ok. I was trying to fix your fiddle but at the end I have changed too much.
I will explain thought what I would do if I wanted to do your project. (hopefully if I have understood your question well enough).
First at all I would position the image of the ipad at the background with position:fixed and negative z-index. Now we have the image NOT moving at all as the position is placed relative to the window and not to any element. And also we have the first part of your content over the image and scrolling nicely.
Then we focus on the right flow of the html elements when scrolling so basically there will be more content under the first (and later under the image). I have added another div with red background to illustrate better the problem.
The html would look something like this:
<div class="container">
<div class="outer">
<img class="" src="http://s11.postimg.org/xtwbnx937/ipad_content_660.png"/>
</div>
<div class="frame">
<img class="ipad" src="http://s11.postimg.org/44ejhu0jn/ipad_frame_780.png" />
</div>
<div class="moreContent"></div>
</div>
Now we focus just on separate the top content from the bottom content. To do this we just add a big margin-bottom to the first content. Now when scrolling once you reach the end of the first content the image at the background will show then after the margin is over the last content will start flowing over the image (which is what you don't want)
basically we have this: FIDDLE1
Now it's just time to do a very simple jquery (it's always simple if I can use it). We just need to give some orders to the browser so I have used this:
$(window).scroll(function () {
if ($(window).scrollTop() > 1127) {
$(".frame").addClass('relative');
$(".outer").addClass('no-margin');
}
else {
$(".frame").removeClass('relative');
$(".outer").removeClass('no-margin');
}
});
basically I'm telling the browser that when the scroll is higher than 1227px (height) to add a class to frame and another to outer and if you scroll back to remove the classes.
Then The class I add to outer will just remove the big margin between first and last divs while the class add to frame will just make the container of the image relative so the flow of the html is normal and the image will keep scrolling down with the rest of elements.
Of course the 1227px I choose is based on the jsfiddle images you provided but in your future projects it won't be too hard to find the real height of your first content justinpecting it with chrome or simillar. same with the big margin I added.
The rest of changes was to make the sizes correct and center all elements in the window with at 600px width.
Here you have the final FIDDLE

how to using navbar and div tag as fixed

I wanted to build a website from scratch, I started adding nav bar which seems to work fine and after that I added a few div tags as "fixed".
I need it to be in such a way that when I scroll the nav bar should be fixed and the rest of the content to be scrolled...
I have attached the project below
From what you are describing I think I have a solution.
In your nav bar you need to put <nav style="position: fixed; top: 0;">CONTENT</nav>
This will make it never move and be stuck at the top bottom: 0; will make it stick on the bottom
Update:
Change your code to this:
<section class="color-1">
<nav style="position: fixed; top: 0;">
Ailurophile
Sumptuous
Scintilla
Propinquity
Harbinger
</nav>
</section>
I think i have a solution for your problem.
In your project #navber element overlap the section element when you going to set position:fixed .Now if you set any positive value of z-index for section, then it overlaps navbar element
You just have to set one property...
section{
position:fixed;
z-index:1;
}
Fixed elements are those elements which removed from the flow of document.
Without any z-index value elements stack in the order that they appear in the DOM (the lowest one down at the same hierarchy level appears on top).
but now section element overlaps navbar.set property for navbar as follow
#navbar{
margin-top:50px;
}

Page navigation with fixed header

I have a horizontal fixed header on top of my site and when I use page navigation to scroll to an ID, it puts the content I'm trying to scroll to underneath the header.
Is there a way I can offset where the page navigation shows up by 80 pixels (down)?
Edit: I was actually able to fix it myself in the simplest and most acceptable manner possible. I put the solution in an answer below.
Well, since no one else had an answer, I fixed it myself.
Here is the fix:
JSFiddle
This was done by making a hidden div that is absolutely positoned 'x' amount of pixlels above the content I want to scroll to. I then scroll to that div instead of the content I originally wanted to scroll to. 'x' should be the height of your header, this way the content you want to scroll to appears directly below your header like it should.
You can do that with CSS.
HTML:
<header>Your Header Here</header>
<div id=main>Rest of Content</header>
CSS:
header { position: fixed; height: 80px; }
#main { margin-top: 80px; }
Try reading this artcle from Chris Coyier. He cleverly uses a pseudo-element to solve the "fixed header in page navigation" issue. Take a look: http://css-tricks.com/hash-tag-links-padding/.
The example doesn't show how it works. I fixed it by adding:
#header {
opacity:0.5;
}
#content-scroller {
height:120px;
}
