My navigation bar keeps getting cut off when the browser window gets too small. I have it as position: fixed so that the navigation bar stays in the screen even when the page is scroll down. Doing this though makes it cut off. I also don't want to change the UI to 100%. Because this makes my links go to the next line on the page, but they have borders and it doesn't look professional. I set up a JSfiddle. I think ultimately what I want is it to be fixed vertically, but when people scroll side to side it becomes absolute. I feel that this could be done with javascript, but I have little experience on it. I've seen a few topics on the same subject, but i haven't seen it fixed.
You can adopt responsive menu then. A demo is here. Resize your browser to see how the menu adopts itself based on the available width.

I've noticed on sites like The New Yorker that when on mobile if you scroll to the very top and continue to scroll upwards the navbar stays firmly attached to the top of the window. On my site, the navbar stays connected to the rest of the content when I scroll up and continue past the body of the page. How would I go about emulating what The New Yorker does. I have looked at their page's css but can't seem to tell what gives that functionality. Any help would be appreciated.
setting the position:fixed and top:0 to the navbar should work, although after that you will have to determine the height occupied by the navbar and give your body content padding set to that height to have a neat display.

I am working on building sticky sidebar behavior that will run alongside a vertical feed which is very similar to a facebook feed on desktop web. position: sticky works well for the easy use case where the sidebar is shorter than the height of the viewport. However if your sidebar is larger than the viewport the sidebar needs to have some scrolling mechanism so you can see the bottom of the sidebar as you scroll down the feed.
I am trying to recreate the facebook sidebar sticky scroll here.
The best way to understand the desired behavior is to test out your facebook feed and shrink your screen height so that your viewport is smaller than your sidebar height. I'll try to summarize here:
When your viewport is taller than your sidebar (simple case)
The sidebar behaves exactly as you'd expect with position: sticky. The sidebar stays in the same place and follows as you scroll down and up.
When your viewport is smaller than your sidebar
When you scroll down initially the sidebar scrolls with the feed (they appear fixed together)
When you get to the bottom of your sidebar, it then locks at the bottom and as you scroll down more, the sidebar now appears sticky with the bottom fixed
When you now scroll back up, the sidebar once again appears attached to your main feed, and scrolls up with the main feed. Once you hit the top of the sidebar it's then sticky with the top fixed.
So between those two states (top fixed when scrolling up, bottom fixed when scrolling down), the sidebar scrolls in unison with the main feed.
It's a very nice scrolling experience but very hard to recreate.
I have accomplished the states listed in steps 1-3 above by applying position sticky with a top position, and when you scroll down, using scroll events and some viewport/sidebar height calculations to determine the height difference and adjusting the top css value so it locks when the bottom is lined up with the screen (essentially initialTop - (sidebarHeight - viewportHeight). I cannot figure out steps 4, and 5. The best I could do was transition between the two top values depending on your scroll direction but it's a very bad UX.
I have a sandbox example of a layout here: https://codesandbox.io/s/fragrant-microservice-89b7z?fontsize=14&hidenavigation=1&theme=dark
There's a basic layout with 2 columns (left sidebar and main feed). And there's a react component called StickyScroll which wraps around the column and has all the logic to update the top value. This may be a completely wrong start to a good solution, but any help is greatly appreciated.
I was interested in this as well, so I spent some time studying how fb does it.
It's very clever, my hat off to whichever fb dev originally implemented this.
You have to set the top / bottom css properties on the sticky depending on the direction of scroll, and to keep things from jumping around, you also have to calculate the height of an the element above the sticky, based on scrollTop.
Here is a rough example, which demonstrates the logic in action
I try to make a mock up by your sandbox code based on facebook redesign 2020.
hope you find the answer here. I like this approach because it's not very complex. More precisely, I use the css solution when I have to create a component similar to the Facebook sidebar.So i'm not using your StickyScroll component. Hope you find something.

I am trying to create a layout that has a fixed header that always shows at the top. Additionally a side bar that will have a scroll bar next to it if the content goes past the browser height. Same with the content to the right of the side-bar, I would like it to have its own scroll bar that does not go past the browser height.
Please see this site for an example of what I am looking for. It has all 3 features.
I have tried so many things. Without the fixed header I can get it working by simply making everything height: 100%. But with the fixed header something is going on where the sidebar and content pane scroll bars go way below the browser view.
I feel like I am getting somewhere when I add padding-bottom: 64px; to the items I want to have the scroll bar. The 64px is the height of the header.
Please go through the documentation and tutorial of Bootstrap and you will be able to do it.

I'm implementing a fixed vertical menu. It works great on desktop and looks great on mobile devices (IOS, Android)... as long as you don't zoom in on the page. When you zoom on a mobile device, the fixed element begins covering the other page content (as it should since it's fixed to a certain place on the viewport).
But what I'm looking for is a navigation bar that's only fixed vertically. So if you zoom in and scroll horizontally the navigation bar doesn't cover the content. Is there a way to do this?
This is a common problem and as far as I know there is no way to fix only vertically using merely CSS. You have the choice between either:
Disable zooming using viewport meta tags (but this can be bad for accessibility).
Control the menu position using javascript on mobile devices. For instance by instead of using a fixed position, give it an absolute position and on every window.scroll event, update the top position of the menu. This however will result in unpleasant results on devices that aren't state of the art (so on most devices you will see the position update with constant shocks). Second issue will be the smooth scrolling on Apple devices which prevents you from getting any information about document scroll position during 'smooth scroll'. So you would then also have to disable the smooth scrolling (possible with a CSS line on the body) but this also gives the user a negative experience.
This is why the menu is usually turned into a hamburger icon and only appear once the hamburger icon is pressed. The little hamburger icon will not be so annoying in the top left corner during horizontal scroll, as it is quite small.
I have centered a div on a page for a group project and while the div itself is centered, the websites contents are centered with the scroll bar in mind. What I mean by this is that the web page contents are centered so that the width of the screen is measured without the scroll bars width. So if the monitor was originally 100px wide, it gets read as 100-(scroll bar width) px wide. Unfortunately, this has caused my fixed position div to be a scroll bars width off center from the rest of the site and it looks pretty funky. Any way to fix that? Can't use jquery, can potentially use a little bit of JS.
Here's the link to my site so you can see what I'm talking about. http://51713941.nhd.weebly.com/index.html
Lets see some code.
This can normally be sorted out with css. Margin:auto
You should use the box model concept in css to style and place the content on the site
Again, the question seems rather vague.
