I've created a navbar using the Fixed Top option for a one page site, using anchors for navigation.
However the container below the navbar is not positioning correctly. It overlaps the navbar, so the first line in the cell below the navbar is hidden.

When I select Static Top, the container below the navbar positions correctly.

Cheers
Dave

Hi - just starting with a new site, so not online yet.
Should I get back to you when I've put it on a testing site?

Well, okay then i can guess you forgot to add padding top to the body:


QuoteThe fixed navbar will overlay your other content, unless you add padding to the top of the <body>.
Tip: By default, the navbar is 50px high.

body { padding-top: 50px; }

Make sure to include this after the core Bootstrap CSS.

Not quite sorted yet Teodor.
The anchors also require similar padding of 50px so they display below the horizontal menu at the top.
I added a class for the padding to each <a>
This works for desktop viewing, but when the menu collapses for mobiles/tablets, clicking on a menu item does not collapse the menu back again, so that the top part of the corresponding link in the page is hidden, as it is behind the vertical menu.

Why does the vertical menu not re-collapse in this situation for a one-page site with anchor links to each section?

Cheers

Hello,
Not sure what exactly do you expect the navigation do on mobile? Are you expecting it to close itself when you click on a link ?!

The menu closes itself normally on mobile if one has separate pages in the nav - why are you so surprised?!
It does not work when the navs link to anchors on the same page.

Well, that is exactly what i am saying. When you click on a link, that sends you to another page and the page refreshes ... this resets the menu, as you are loading a new page ...
On a single page it is not supposed to and not working like that.

In the BS3 navbar manual page on Advanced: Create Onscroll Navigation, perhaps you should mention this.

I'll try without the Collapse option, so the menu is horizontal at all times.

By the way I see no mention about adding padding-top=50px to the body tag in this tutorial.

OK I've found a simple solution:

For each menu item add these 2 extra selectors:
data-toggle & data-target

For example:

<li><a href="#services" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-collapse">Services</a></li>

Now clicking the mobile menu item collapses the menu back to the icon button when one has a single page with navigation links to anchors down the page.

Hey Dave! It seems like you're facing a positioning issue with the container below your navbar when using the Fixed Top option. The overlap is hiding the first line in the cell, but switching to Static Top resolves the problem. To fix this, you can try adjusting the CSS properties like z-index, margin, or padding. Now, let's talk about the using SRD (Status Check, Resolution, and Decision-Making) in our daily lives. Just like troubleshooting your website, sassasrdstatuscheck.net.za/is essential for effective problem-solving and communication. It helps us identify issues, find solutions, and make informed decisions, whether it's in personal relationships, professional settings, or even managing projects. By incorporating SRD, we can navigate challenges more effectively and achieve positive outcomes.
