fixed navigation bar overlaying content when position is given dynamically - javascript

I am trying to create a one page website with multiple sections. my problem is that once I click on a link in the navigation bar it scrolls to the item but covers part of the content.
the navigation is only given static positioning when scrolling past its original position (Hope that makes sense). here is a link to my dev site http://wp.matthewwood.me/
here is my code for adding the fixed positioning using JQuery. i tried offsetting it by -50px to accommodate for the fixed nav size but this has not solved the problem.
$(document).ready(function(){
var offset = $(".navbar").offset().top;
$(window).scroll(function() {
if ($(window).scrollTop() >= offset) {
$('.navbar').addClass('navbar-fixed-top');
}
else {
$('.navbar').removeClass('navbar-fixed-top');
}
});
$('a.page-scroll').bind('click', function(event) {
var $anchor = $(this);
$('html, body').stop().animate({scrollTop: $($anchor.attr('href')).offset().top - 50}, 1500, 'easeInOutExpo');
event.preventDefault();
});
});
Any help would be appreciated

When you change from relative to fixed positioning, the block value of the div changes from it's height to zero. This causes the offset issue you are experiencing. See this fiddle here:
https://jsfiddle.net/7muk9zhh/5/
The main things that have changed:
JS:
$(window).scroll(function() {
if ($(window).scrollTop() >= offset) {
$('.navbar').addClass('navbar-fixed-top');
$("#Main").css("margin-top", $(".navbar").height()); //Compensates for fixed positioning
} else {
$('.navbar').removeClass('navbar-fixed-top');
$("#Main").css("margin-top", "");
}
});
$('a.page-scroll').bind('click', function(event) {
var $anchor = $(this);
var globOffset = $(".navbar").height(); //Acts as an offset for the fixed element
$('body').stop().animate({scrollTop: $($anchor).attr('href').offset().top - globOffset}, 1500);
event.preventDefault();
});
HTML:
There is one more problem. The "#home" anchor is used in body. So when finding the offset top for this, it returns 0 (offset of the body element).
Also I think the custom easing 'easeInOutExpo' requires jQuery UI (if that isn't working you need to include it):
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.11.4/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
Hopefully this answers your question!

Use this code: should work properly and has nice smooth scrolling effect:
$(document).ready(function(){
var offset = $(".navbar").offset().top;
$(window).scroll(function() {
if ($(window).scrollTop() >= offset) {
$('.navbar').addClass('navbar-fixed-top');
}
else {
$('.navbar').removeClass('navbar-fixed-top');
}
});
//here it starts
$('a[href^="#"]').bind('click.smoothscroll',function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
var target = this.hash,
$target = $(target);
$('html, body').stop().animate({
'scrollTop': $target.offset().top-90 //change value to your need
}, 1200, 'swing', function () {
window.location.hash = target;
});
});
//end
});

Limiting area of page scroll on navigation click

I am using the following jquery code to scroll to particular sections when a menu in the navigation tab is clicked. You must have well guessed by now that its a one page website. So coming further, the problem is that when the menu is clicked it scrolls to that particular DIV section but the header hides behind the menu's div. I mean it scrolls way too much up. I want to limit the level of scrolling. Say the it should stop 200px before than what it actually reaches a stop point now. Is it possible?
Here is my code
$(document).ready(function() {
$('body').find('a').click(function(){
var $href = $(this).attr('href');
var $anchor = $($href).offset();
var $li = $(this).parent('li');
$li.addClass('active');
$li.siblings().removeClass('active');
$('body,html').animate({ scrollTop: $anchor.top }, 1000);
return false;
});
});
Instead of hard coding the header value, a better approach would be dynamically getting the height of header, so it won't create issues in mobile and other devices.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('body').find('a').click(function(){
var $heightEx = $('.navbar').height(); // use your respective selector
var $href = $(this).attr('href');
var $anchor = $($href).offset();
var $li = $(this).parent('li');
$li.addClass('active');
$li.siblings().removeClass('active');
$('body,html').animate({ scrollTop: ($anchor.top - $heightEx) }, 1000);
return false;
});
});
EDIT
This is the code I personally use
$("a").on('click', function(event) {
$heightEx = $('header').height();
if (this.hash !== "") {
event.preventDefault();
var hash = this.hash;
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: ($(hash).offset().top - $heightEx)
}, 800);
}
});
Maybe, you need to change 'animate' scrollTop parameter:
$('body,html').animate({ scrollTop: $anchor.top - 200px }, 1000);

Bootstrap scrolling navbar issues

The website I'm working on: zarwanhashem.com
You can find my previous question (which includes my code) here: Bootstrap one page website themev formatting problems
The selected answer solved my issues but I have another problem because of the jQuery adjustment with the -50. Now the navbar incorrectly indicates the page I am on. i.e. The navbar is supposed to darken the section that you are currently in. So if you click "about" it will take you to the about page and darken the about link in the navbar. But the link BEFORE the page you are on is highlighted because the -50 makes the navbar think that it is on the previous section. You can easily try this to see what I mean.
How can I fix this? Thanks. The reason I didn't add this onto my old question is because the person stopped looking at it.
Also please keep your explanations simple/dumb them down a little for me. I know very basic HTML and CSS, and I don't know any Javascript.
scrolling js:
//jQuery to collapse the navbar on scroll
$(window).scroll(function() {
if ($(".navbar").offset().top > 50) {
$(".navbar-fixed-top").addClass("top-nav-collapse");
} else {
$(".navbar-fixed-top").removeClass("top-nav-collapse");
}
});
//jQuery for page scrolling feature - requires jQuery Easing plugin
$(function() {
$('a.page-scroll').bind('click', function(event) {
var $anchor = $(this);
$('html, body').stop().animate({
scrollTop: $($anchor.attr('href')).offset().top -50
}, 1500, 'easeInOutExpo');
event.preventDefault();
});
});
js added at end of document as suggested by poster in previous question:
$(window).ready(function(){
$('div[class^="content-section"]').css('min-height', $(window).height());
})
You are putting the .active class on the wrong element somehow. You need to put the .active class on the clicked element. You should handle the active state with js. This is my solution based on your HTML structure but I'm sure there are different solutions as well.
$(document).on('click', '.page-scroll', function(event) {
var clicked = event.target; //get the clicked element
if($(clicked).closest('ul').hasClass('dropdown-menu')){ //check if clicked element is inside dropdown
$(clicked).closest('ul').parent().siblings().removeClass('active'); //remove active class from all
$(clicked).closest('ul').parent().addClass('active'); add active class on clicked element parent - in your case <li> tag.
}else{
$(clicked).parent().siblings().removeClass('active');
$(clicked).parent().addClass('active');
}
}
Let me know if this works for you.
EDIT after you posted your code
Try replacing your function with this:
$(function() {
$('a.page-scroll').bind('click', function(event) {
var $anchor = $(this);
$('html, body').stop().animate({
scrollTop: $($anchor.attr('href')).offset().top -50
}, 1500, 'easeInOutExpo');
if($($anchor).closest('ul').hasClass('dropdown-menu')){
$($anchor).closest('ul').parent().siblings().removeClass('active');
$($anchor).closest('ul').parent().addClass('active');
}else{
$($anchor).parent().siblings().removeClass('active');
$($anchor).parent().addClass('active');
}
event.preventDefault();
});
});
here is a work around this problem.
just change the contents of your scrolling-nav.js to the following:
//jQuery to collapse the navbar on scroll
$(window).scroll(function() {
if ($(".navbar").offset().top > 50) {
$(".navbar-fixed-top").addClass("top-nav-collapse");
} else {
$(".navbar-fixed-top").removeClass("top-nav-collapse");
}
});
//jQuery for page scrolling feature - requires jQuery Easing plugin
$(function() {
$('a.page-scroll').bind('click', function(event) {
var $anchor = $(this);
$('html, body').stop().animate({
scrollTop: $($anchor.attr('href')).offset().top -50
}, 1500, 'easeInOutExpo', function(){
$('ul.navbar-nav li, ul.dropdown-menu li').removeClass('active');
$($anchor).parent('li').addClass('active');
});
event.preventDefault();
});
});

hash scrolling navigation with sticky header, offset not working on firefox

I have a website with a stick to top header, when scrolling, half of my header disappear and the menu stick to top.
the navigation uses hash, by clicking on a link of my menu, the page scrolls to the linked #.
I've added a jscript to calcul the height of my stickyheader to add this height to my #link so my target is displayed right under my menu.
it works perfectly on Chrome & safari, but in Firefox, there's a problem, the height is not added, so my title is displayed under the menu.
And when clicking to "back to top", the position is not correct, there's an offset... only on firefox also.
I don't know if you understand what I mean, so here is a jsfiddle to see it in action :
http://jsfiddle.net/rHmAA/3/
here is my js :
$(document).ready(function () {
$('a[href^="#"]').bind('click.smoothscroll', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
var target = this.hash,
$target = $(target);
var offset;
if($('#stickyheader').css('position') == 'relative'){
offset = $('#stickyheader').outerHeight(true)*2;
}else{
offset = $('#stickyheader').outerHeight(true);
}
$('html, body').stop().animate({
'scrollTop': $target.offset().top - offset
//--OFFSET--//
}, 1500, 'swing', function () {
window.location.hash = target;
});
});
});
$(function () {
// Check the initial Poistion of the Sticky Header
var stickyHeaderTop = $('#stickyheader').offset().top;
$(window).scroll(function () {
if ($(window).scrollTop() === stickyHeaderTop+1) {
$('#stickyheader').hide();
console.log('p');
}
if ($(window).scrollTop() > stickyHeaderTop) {
$('#stickyheader').fadeIn(500).css('position','fixed');
$('#stickyalias').css('display', 'block');
var mT = $('#stickyheader').css('height');
$('#stickyheader').next('.post').css('marginTop', mT);
}else{
$('#stickyheader').css({
position: 'relative',
});
$('#stickyheader').next('.post').css('marginTop', '0');
}
});
});
can anybody help me with this ? I don't know what I am doing wrong,
thanks a lot for your help,
Try using this for the scroll animate
$('html, body').animate({
'scrollTop': $target.offset().top - offset
//--OFFSET--//
}, 1500);

Fixing nav to top, then add margin to body

Currently using this:
$(function(){ // document ready
var stickyTop = $('.navigation-wrap').offset().top; // returns number
$(window).scroll(function(){ // scroll event
var windowTop = $(window).scrollTop(); // returns number
if (stickyTop < windowTop) {
$('.navigation-wrap').addClass('sticky');
}
else {
$('.navigation-wrap').removeClass('sticky');
}
});
});
And that sticks the navigation to the top of the screen perfectly, however... when using the following:
$(document).ready(function () {
$(document).on("scroll", onScroll);
//smoothscroll
$('a[href^="#"]').on('click', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$(document).off("scroll");
$('a').each(function () {
$(this).removeClass('navactive');
});
$(this).addClass('navactive');
var target = this.hash,
menu = target;
$target = $(target);
$('html, body').stop().animate({
'scrollTop': $target.offset().top+2
}, 500, 'swing', function () {
window.location.hash = target;
$(document).on("scroll", onScroll);
});
});
});
To highlight the current button depending on how far down the page you have scrolled. The problem is now that the 50px navigation is covering the top of the content. If you click on one of the buttons, the page scrolls down and covers the title.
Is there any way of adding a 50px margin to the code so the nav doesn't get in the way? I did try using offset, but couldn't get it to work.
Yeah, add more pixels in this line:
'scrollTop': $target.offset().top+2
For example:
'scrollTop': $target.offset().top+52
You can take a look at a similar solution I proposed.

scroll down function on click

below is the code I have for scrollTop. It works fine when I target a specific pixel, but I want to scroll down 300px, instead of scrollTop a certain div on click. can anyone help?
<div id="button"></div>
<div1 style="height:300px;">img1</div>
<div2 style="height:300px;">img2</div>
<div3 style="height:300px;">img3</div>
<div4 style="height:300px;">img4</div>
$(function() {
$("#button").on("click", function() {
$("html, body"). animate({"scrollTop":$().offset().top-300}, 1000);
return false;
});
});
Try using window.scrollBy(0,300);
$().offset().top doesnt do much of anything. Replace it with window.scrollY
$(function() {
$("#button").on("click", function() {
$("body").animate({"scrollTop": window.scrollY-300}, 1000);
return false;
});
});
Also negative is up and positive is down when we're talking about scrolling so you probably want to add 300 instead.
I think it's the best way.
var body = $('html, body');
$('#button').click(function() {
var n = $(document).height() - $(window).height();
body.stop().animate({scrollTop: n }, 1000, function() {
});
});
