I am trying to have a menu that takes up 100vh when the menu button is clicked. However, I also have a header at the top so the menu content is lower than it. How do I make the menu go on top of the header? I'm trying to do this without making the header display: none because I want it to be shown on the side - in the left over space from making the menu have a view width of 80vw.
header {
height: 3.4rem;
display: grid;
align-items: center;
z-index: 1;
}
.menu {
z-index: 2;
position: relative;
background-color: #000;
margin-left: 4rem;
}
.menu-container {
width: 80vw;
height: 100vh;
margin-left: 2.5rem;
margin-top: 2rem;
}
<header>
<div class="header-container">
<div class="left">
<img src="img/logo.jpg" alt="">
</div>
<div class="right">
<img src="img/user.png" alt="">
<i class="fa-solid fa-bars fa-xl"></i>
</div>
</div>
</header>
<nav class="menu">
<div class="menu-container">
<div class="top-menu">
Premium
Support
Download
<div class="menu-line"></div>
</div>
<div class="bottom-menu">
Account
Log out
</div>
<img src="img/logo.jpg" alt="">
</div>
</nav>
(I did not add all the CSS to do with the menu and header because the rest of it is irrelevant.)
How do I move the menu to go on top?
I think position: relative is not set properly, it should only be on a parent that contains both header and nav. And then set the following css :
.menu {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
height: 100vh;
width: 80vw;
}
Add margin and background if you want.
Now nav should be above header.
I believe the issue lies in the position and z-index of your .menu and header css. Try making the position: absolute for both absolute and change the z-index of menu to 1 and header to 2 so that it shows menu on top of header.

My CSS style sheet doesn't seem to be working?
Anyone know why?
Code:
/* my css style sheet named "style" */
/* CSS Selector applicable to all elements which in this case are my html margin padding and box size */
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.navbar {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
padding: 20%;
}
nav {
flex: 1;
text-align: right;
}
nav ul {
display: inline-block;
list-style-type: none;
}
nav ul li {
display: inline-block;
margin-right: 20px;
}

If possible, could you please specify what result is expected or what are trying to achieve?
If you would like to make navigation "sticky" so it would be always visible to users even if they scroll down the page, then as an option you could try to add to your .navbar class CSS this:
.navbar {
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
}
If you are trying to put the nabber in the top left corner of the screen, you can remove the padding: 20% from your "navbar" class (.navbar).
So I'm using this "Color Admin Responsive Admin Template" (http://wrapbootstrap.com/preview/WB0N89JMK) and I have a sidebar menu, and I have the expand/collapse button displaying, but the actual function is not working. I'm not sure exactly why it isn't working, I got the function from the template. I'm pretty new to JavaScript but I think everything that I needed to change on my specific HTML matches the function.

<!-- begin #sidebar -->
<div id="sidebar" class="sidebar">
<!-- begin sidebar scrollbar -->
<div data-scrollbar="true" data-height="100%">
<!-- begin sidebar user -->

</li>
</ul>
<!-- end sidebar user -->
<ul class="nav">
<!-- begin sidebar minify button -->
<li><i class="fa fa-angle-double-left"></i></li>
<!-- end sidebar minify button -->
</ul>
</div>
<!-- end sidebar scrollbar -->
</div>
<!--sidebar left end-->
JavaScript
var handleSidebarMinify = function() {
$('[data-click=sidebar-minify]').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var sidebarClass = 'page-sidebar-minified';
var targetContainer = '#page-container';
if ($(targetContainer).hasClass(sidebarClass)) {
$(targetContainer).removeClass(sidebarClass);
if ($(targetContainer).hasClass('page-sidebar-fixed')) {
generateSlimScroll($('#sidebar [data-scrollbar="true"]'));
}
} else {
$(targetContainer).addClass(sidebarClass);
if ($(targetContainer).hasClass('page-sidebar-fixed')) {
$('#sidebar [data-scrollbar="true"]').slimScroll({destroy: true});
$('#sidebar [data-scrollbar="true"]').removeAttr('style');
}
// firefox bugfix
$('#sidebar [data-scrollbar=true]').trigger('mouseover');
}
$(window).trigger('resize');
});
};

You do not include jQuery library in your html. I've added check for JQuery at the top of your code:
alert(typeof jQuery !== "undefined")
it returns false that means you don't add JQuery. You can see the Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined error on browser console. Updated JSFiddle
You can do this (without an animation) without any javascript at all, using the css's :hover.
EDIT: I just realised you wanted to control the expansion and collapse with buttons. This answer doesn't address that, but I'll leave it here anyway as an alternative.

Is it possible to create a GMail/GoogleGroups-like layout using Twitter Bootstrap, so that the layout always fits to the viewport (window height) and the sidebar and content area are
separately scrollable?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| Fixed top navbar |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| Sidebar | Content area scrollable |
| scrollable |
| | |
| | |

You don't need to use Bootstrap to create this layout (nor do I think Bootstrap supports it, at least not without significant modification).
Of course, you can still use Bootstrap for everything else on the page. If you really want the Google Apps look, you'll need to tweak some of the default Bootstrap styles.
What's Possible
For fun, here's a quick knockoff of the Gmail interface using the basic techniques I describe below and a variety of Bootstrap components.
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/Ly6wmyr2/1/
The code here is definitely demo quality and beyond the scope of a Stack Overflow question. I'll leave it up to the reader to dissect.
Simple Breakdown
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/vLm26g4g/1/
Notes
We're using absolute positioning.
Just because it's absolutely positioned doesn't mean it can't be responsive (if desired).
Containers are positioned using all 4 sides inside a 100% height body.
This approach will work in all browsers IE 7+. If you can support IE8+, using box-sizing: border-box makes the dimension calculations easier.
Layouts like this really benefit from LESS CSS, as you can declare the basic sizes in a single location.
HTML {
height: 100%;
}
BODY {
position: relative;
height: 100%;
}
HEADER {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
height: 64px;
padding: 8px;
background-color: #ddd;
}
#side {
position: absolute;
top: 80px;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
width: 20%;
background-color: #eee;
overflow: auto;
}
#content {
position: absolute;
top: 80px;
left: 20%;
bottom: 0;
right: 0;
overflow: auto;
}
I don't think there is an out-of-the-box Bootstrap solution but with a few overrides to the Bootstrap CSS and a position:absolute container around the left side nav and *wide content are*a this should work. You'll see that both left/right spans have independent scroll bars...
Gmail-like Bootstrap Layout Demo
<div class="navbar navbar-fixed-top">
<div class="navbar-inner">
<div class="container-fluid">
<!-- top nav --->
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="box">
<div class="row-fluid">
<div class="column span3">
<!-- left-side nav --->
</div>
<div class="column span9">
<!-- content area --->
</div>
</div>
</div>
Add some Bootstrap CSS overrides, and tweak the .box and .column containers..
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
.row-fluid {
height: 100%;
}
.column:before, .column:after {
content: "";
display: table;
}
.column:after {
clear: both;
}
.column {
height: 100%;
overflow: auto;
}
.box {
bottom: 0; /* increase for footer use */
left: 0;
position: absolute;
right: 0;
top: 40px;
}
.span9.full {
width: 100%;
}
Here is the working Bootply: http://bootply.com/60116 (also includes the content area rows and pagination)
Check out the scaffolding section at
http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/scaffolding.html#layouts
Specifically under the Fluid Layout/Fixed Layout sections
If you want to make the sections scrollable just add
overflow-y:auto;
to the css in your divs
that would be your code using a scrollspy to highlight the current "visibl" section in the body
<body data-spy="scroll" data-target=".bs-docs-sidebar">
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row-fluid">
<div class="span3 bs-docs-sidebar">

if you want to add a fixed navbar simply add "position:fixed" to the navbar css
I'm attempting to make a nav bar that appears at the bottom of the viewable page when the site is first loaded, then as the user scrolls down, the nav bar scrolls up, and eventually becomes fixed to the top. I'm using Bootstrap, just like this site, but I can't figure out how this site did it. Any help?
Here's the site with the nav bar I'm trying to emulate: http://www.blastprocessor.co.uk/
Here's my navigation html and css code:
HTML:
<div class="navbar navbar-fixed-top" id="navbar">
<div class="navbar-inner">
<div class="container">
<a class="btn btn-navbar" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".nav-collapse">
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</a>
<div class="nav-collapse">
<ul class="nav nav-pills">
<li class="active">Home</li>
<li>Services</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul><!-- /.nav -->
</div><!--/.nav-collapse -->
</div><!-- /.container -->
</div><!-- /.navbar-inner -->
</div><!-- /.navbar -->
And here's my CSS:
.navbar-fixed-top,.navbar-fixed-bottom{position:fixed; -webkit-box-shadow: none; -moz-box-shadow: none; box-shadow: none;}
.navbar .nav > li a{
color:white; background:rgba(0,0,0,0.2); text-shadow:none; font-size:1.7em; font-family: marvel, serif; padding:.5em 1.3em; margin:1em 2em;
}
.navbar .nav > .active a:hover, .navbar .nav > li a:hover, .navbar .nav > .active a {
color:white; ; background:#F90; text-shadow:none; font-size:1.7em; font-family: marvel, serif; padding:.5em 1.3em; margin:1em 2em;
}
.navbar .nav > li {padding:2em;}
.navbar.navbar-fixed-top .navbar-inner{background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);}
.navbar .nav, .navbar .nav > li {
float:none;
display:inline-block;
*display:inline; /* ie7 fix */
*zoom:1; /* hasLayout ie7 trigger */
vertical-align: top;
padding:0 2em;
}
.navbar-inner {text-align:center;}
.navbar .navbar-inner, .navbar .navbar-inner {border: none; box-shadow: none; filter: none;}
I was searching for this very same thing. I had read that this was available in Bootstrap 3.0, but I was having no luck in actually implementing it. This is what I came up with and it works great. Very simple jQuery and Javascript.
Here is the JSFiddle to play around with... http://jsfiddle.net/CriddleCraddle/Wj9dD/
The solution is very similar to other solutions on the web and StackOverflow. If you do not find this one useful, search for what you need. Goodluck!
Here is the HTML...
<div id="banner">
<h2>put what you want here</h2>
<p>just adjust javascript size to match this window</p>
</div>
<nav id='nav_bar'>
<ul class='nav_links'>
<li>Sign In</li>
<li>Blog</li>
<li>About</li>
</ul>
</nav>
<div id='body_div'>
<p style='margin: 0; padding-top: 50px;'>and more stuff to continue scrolling here</p>
</div>
Here is the CSS...
html, body {
height: 4000px;
}
.navbar-fixed {
top: 0;
z-index: 100;
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
}
#body_div {
top: 0;
position: relative;
height: 200px;
background-color: green;
}
#banner {
width: 100%;
height: 273px;
background-color: gray;
overflow: hidden;
}
#nav_bar {
border: 0;
background-color: #202020;
border-radius: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0;
height: 30px;
}
//the below css are for the links, not needed for sticky nav
.nav_links {
margin: 0;
}
.nav_links li {
display: inline-block;
margin-top: 4px;
}
.nav_links li a {
padding: 0 15.5px;
color: #3498db;
text-decoration: none;
}
Now, just add the javacript to add and remove the fix class based on the scroll position.
$(document).ready(function() {
//change the integers below to match the height of your upper div, which I called
//banner. Just add a 1 to the last number. console.log($(window).scrollTop())
//to figure out what the scroll position is when exactly you want to fix the nav
//bar or div or whatever. I stuck in the console.log for you. Just remove when
//you know the position.
$(window).scroll(function () {
console.log($(window).scrollTop());
if ($(window).scrollTop() > 550) {
$('#nav_bar').addClass('navbar-fixed-top');
}
if ($(window).scrollTop() < 551) {
$('#nav_bar').removeClass('navbar-fixed-top');
}
});
});
Note (2015): Both question and the answer below apply to the old, deprecated version 2.x of Twitter Bootstrap.
This feature of making and element "sticky" is built into the Twitter's Bootstrap and it is called Affix. All you have to do is to add:
<div data-spy="affix" data-offset-top="121">
... your navbar ...
</div>
around your tag and do not forget to load the Bootstrap's JS files as described in the manual. Data attribute offset-top tells how many pixels the page is scrolled (from the top) to fix you menu component. Usually it is just the space to the top of the page.
Note: You will have to take care of the missing space when the menu will be fixed. Fixing means cutting it off out of your page layer and pasting in different layer that does not scroll. I am doing the following:
<div style="height: 77px;">
<div data-spy="affix" data-offset-top="121">
<div style="position: relative; height: 0; width: 100%;">
<div style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0;">
... my menu ...
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
where 77px is the height of my affixed component.
//in html
<nav class="navbar navbar-default" id="mainnav">
<nav>
// add in jquery
$(document).ready(function() {
var navpos = $('#mainnav').offset();
console.log(navpos.top);
$(window).bind('scroll', function() {
if ($(window).scrollTop() > navpos.top) {
$('#mainnav').addClass('navbar-fixed-top');
}
else {
$('#mainnav').removeClass('navbar-fixed-top');
}
});
});
Here is the jsfiddle to play around : -http://jsfiddle.net/shubhampatwa/46ovg69z/
EDIT:
if you want to apply this code only for mobile devices the you can use:
var newWindowWidth = $(window).width();
if (newWindowWidth < 481) {
//Place code inside it...
}
Bootstrap 4 - Update 2020
The Affix plugin no longer exists in Bootstrap 4, but now most browsers support position:sticky which can be used to create a sticky after scoll Navbar. Bootstrap 4 includes the sticky-top class for this...
https://codeply.com/go/oY2CyNiA7A
Bootstrap 3 - Original Answer
Here's a Bootstrap 3 example that doesn't require extra jQuery.. it uses the Affix plugin included in Bootstrap 3, but the navbar markup has changed since BS2...
<!-- Content Above Nav -->
<header class="masthead">
</header>
<!-- Begin Navbar -->
<div id="nav">
<div class="navbar navbar-default navbar-static">
<div class="container">
<!-- .btn-navbar is used as the toggle for collapsed navbar content -->
<a class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-collapse">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-bar"></span>
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-bar"></span>
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-bar"></span>
</a>
<div class="navbar-collapse collapse">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li class="active">Home</li>
<li class="divider"></li>
<li>Link</li>
<li>Link</li>
</ul>
<ul class="nav pull-right navbar-nav">
<li>
..
</li>
<li>
..
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div><!-- /.navbar -->
</div>
Working demo/template: http://bootply.com/69848
This worked great for me. Don't forget to put a filler div in there where the navigation bar used to be, or else the content will jump every time it's fixed/unfixed.
function setSkrollr(){
var objDistance = $navbar.offset().top;
$(window).scroll(function() {
var myDistance = $(window).scrollTop();
if (myDistance > objDistance){
$navbar.addClass('navbar-fixed-top');
}
if (objDistance > myDistance){
$navbar.removeClass('navbar-fixed-top');
}
});
}
Use Bootstrap Affix:
/* Note: Try to remove the following lines to see the effect of CSS positioning */
.affix {
top: 0;
width: 100%;
}
.affix + .container-fluid {
padding-top: 70px;
}

You could use position: sticky
#navbar {
position: sticky;
top: 0px;
}
The #navbar should be a direct child of the body though.
For Bootstrap 4, a new class was released for this. According to the utilties docs:
Apply the class sticky-top.
<div class="sticky-top">...</div>
For further navbar position options, visit here.
Also, keep in mind that position: sticky; is not supported in every browser so this may not be the best solution for you if you need to support older browsers.
In answer to Shubham Patwa: This way, the page is "jumpy" soon as the class "navbar-fixed-top" applies. That's because the #mainnav is throwen in and out of the document's DOM flow. This can result in an ugly UX if the page has a "critical height", jumping between fixed and un-fixed #mainnav position.
I altered the code this way, which seems to work fine (not pixel-perfect, but fine):
$(document).ready(function() {
var navpos = $('#mainnav').offset();
var navheight = $('#mainnav').outerHeight();
$(window).bind('scroll', function() {
if ($(window).scrollTop() > navpos.top) {
$('#mainnav').addClass('navbar-fixed-top');
$('body').css('marginTop',navheight);
}
else {
$('#mainnav').removeClass('navbar-fixed-top');
$('body').css('marginTop','0');
}
});
I have found this simple javascript snippet very useful.
$(document).ready(function()
{
var navbar = $('#navbar');
navbar.after('<div id="more-div" style="height: ' + navbar.outerHeight(true) + 'px" class="hidden"></div>');
var afternavbar = $('#more-div');
var abovenavbar = $('#above-navbar');
$(window).on('scroll', function()
{
if ($(window).scrollTop() > abovenavbar.height())
{
navbar.addClass('navbar-fixed-top');
afternavbar.removeClass('hidden');
}
else
{
navbar.removeClass('navbar-fixed-top');
afternavbar.addClass('hidden');
}
});
});
