My waypoint function has undefined behaviour when the user refreshes the page after scrolling past it

I have a navigation bar and I've set its position to change to fixed when the user scrolls down past it and vice versa when the user scrolls up past that point by using the following waypoint:
var $navbar = $('.navbar-default');
$navbar.waypoint(function(){
if ($('#navigation-bar').hasClass('navbar')){
$('#navigation-bar').toggleClass('navbar-fixed');
} else{
($('#navigation-bar').toggleClass('navbar'));
}
}, { offset: '28%' });
This ensures the navbar stays on the users screen only past a certain point. This works as intended most of the time, however the issue is if the user scrolls down past that waypoint and then refreshes the page the navbar will jump back to its original position, which then causes undefined behaviour if you scroll back up past it.
Is there a way to ensure everything that is on the screen remains at that exact same spot when the user refreshes?

You can use the window.scrollTo function when the page loads
//scrollTo(x, y)
window.scrollTo(0, 0);
//the rest of your code...
This will scroll to the top-left of the page everytime the page loads.
Edit:
The answer from this question may also work:
* {
overflow-anchor: none;
}

fixed header not getting right classes on scroll after closing fixed sidebar

I have a fixed sidebar and a fixed header with scrollable content in the main section of the page. The header is to be triggered on the scroll to hide the top portion of itself on scroll down and then show itself on scroll up. The sidebar can be triggered to hide and show itself with a button. When this happens the header gains back the full width of the page until the button is pressed to bring back the sidebar. The page loads with the sidebar opened.
So far I've been able to get the sidebar to transition off and back on the page properly. I also have the header working as intended on page load. However the issue I'm having is with the transition, more so recognizing the changed classes when the sidebar closes. I believe my issue is with the scroll javascript not recognizing the sidebar is closed because when scrolling it applies the classes to the header for when the sidebar is open. To test this I added a class called SEEME123 which never shows.
Below is the javascript for scrolling changes.
var exploreOpen = $('#explore').hasClass('open');
var exploreClosed = $('#explore').hasClass('closed');
$(function () {
var position = $(window).scrollTop();
if (exploreOpen) {
$(window).scroll(function () {
var scroll = $(window).scrollTop();
if (scroll > position) {
$('#wrapper-site-header').removeClass('explore-open--header-full');
$('#wrapper-site-header').addClass('explore-open--header-reduced');
} else {
$('#wrapper-site-header').addClass('explore-open--header-full');
$('#wrapper-site-header').removeClass('explore-open--header-reduced');
}
position = scroll;
});
} if (exploreClosed) {
$(window).scroll(function () {
var scroll = $(window).scrollTop();
if (scroll > position) {
$('#wrapper-site-header').removeClass('explore-closed--header-full');
$('#wrapper-site-header').addClass('explore-closed--header-reduced');
$('#wrapper-site-header').addClass('SEEME123');
} else {
$('#wrapper-site-header').addClass('explore-closed--header-full');
$('#wrapper-site-header').removeClass('explore-closed--header-reduced');
}
position = scroll;
});
} else {}
});
The javascript for the sidebar function toggles the open and closed classes on the sidebar, along with removing or adding the appropriate header class.
I don't understand why this isn't working as intended and would like to know how to resolve the issue. I've searched around attempting to understand where I screwed up, or to find an example where the scroll function does X because of Y. I've also attempted the above without variables (ie..
$(function () {
var position = $(window).scrollTop();
if (('#explore').hasClass('open')) {
), and as separate functions.
Anyway, here is a jsfiddle in case I missed something. https://jsfiddle.net/at0yxo0m/
Thank you all for your help and advice.
EDIT: Additional information.
I do have an earlier version of this layout where the scroll function only changes the header area that works with closing the sidebar. However the animations were clunky in general, and worse on mobile. Also to get everything to work right I had to wrap elements more than I thought was needed. So it was my goal to streamline as much as I could while getting the desired result.

Back to top link on longer pages with dynamic content

I have a slight problem with the way my pages work and the back to top link I am using.
The back to top link works well on static pages but if I reveal more content (dynamically making the page longer) it doesn't recalculate the height of the window. This must be a common problem - I suspect?
Here is the javascript for the back to top link generation:
// Affixes the "back to top" button
if ( (jQuery(window).height() + 200) < jQuery(document).height() ) {
jQuery('#top-link-block').removeClass('hidden').affix({
// how far to scroll down before link "slides" into view
offset: {
top: 200
}
});
}

I have just realised that this method is a bit flawed. Instead I opted for some code that uses the scroll function rather than trying to determine the window/document height. Works much better:

How to jump to certain position of scrolled element without scrolling the main screen?

I have a container (div) on the page. This container has a scrolling (provided by overflow:auto; height:400px).
I need no provide a URL, that will open a page so that the main page will not be scrolled, but the text in the container will be scrolled.
I tried www.mysite.com#position, but by this way the main page is scrolled too (and I need, that users will see the header on the top of the screen, and the "#position" position on the top of the container)

This is possible with javascript. And I will show a jQuery example here.
if (window.location.hash == '#position') {
$('#containerDiv').animate({
scrollTop: $("#actual_position").offset().top
}, 2000);
}
The actual_position should be the place where to scroll to. position should just be in the url and not on the page, to prevent the whole page from scrolling.

May you use the css-properties: position:fixed, top:..., left:... for your element that should stay at a certain place on your side, when an user scrolls.
Furthermore you can put all content that you do not want to be scrolled into a div and define the css-properties.
I hope this helps you a little bit.

Really it's an upgrading of Arjan answer (and now this really works).
As Arjan's suggestion the script will not work every time, but only by providing #scroll in the end of url (www.mysite.com#scroll). This script will scroll the container scroll bar to the #position element, and the all document will stay.
jQuery(window).load(function(){
container_top = jQuery('#container').offset().top;
element_top = jQuery('#position').offset().top;
element_relative_top = element_top -container_top;
if (window.location.hash == '#scroll') {
jQuery('#container').animate({
scrollTop: element_relative_top
}, 2000);
}
})

Mouse leave event keeps firing in navigation menu

Here is a link to the item in question:
http://www.nychukdesign.com/uploads/dynamic-top-bar-nav-menu.html
All HTML, Javascript and CSS is in the one html file
Functionality description:
This is a simple dynamic horizontal navigation bar that is intended to disappear when a user scrolls down the page, in which a trigger is activated when the user mouses into the area, of which it slides down and reappears, and disappears once more upon mousing out. When the user scrolls back to the top the navigation returns to it's default (static) state...which is where the problem comes in.
Problem description:
Sometimes (and yes I can not re-create this problem every time) when you return to the top of the page, and the navigation returns to it's default state, when the mouse leaves this area (without scrolling down again) the navigation will slide up and disappear. Sometime it will happen on the first try, sometimes after several, and primarily in Firefox 2.0, although I have had it happen once or twice in Safari.
My thoughts:
I am baffled by this, and why I am seeking help. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
To re-create the problem
Update: I just discovered how to re-create the problem. You must scroll down and trigger the menu at least once, before scrolling back to the top, in which mousing over the menu will for some reason make it disappear.
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
// Use short notation of DOM ready
$(function(){
// Assign variables for the menu, the trigger and the menu position (relative to the document)
var menu = $('#menu'),
menuTrigger = $('#menu-trigger'),
pos = menu.offset();
// Listen for the scroll event
$(window).scroll(function(){
// If we scroll past the position of the menu's height and it has it's default style, then hide menu.
if($(this).scrollTop() > pos.top+menu.height() && menu.hasClass('default')){
menu.fadeOut('fast', function(){
// Remove the default class and replace with fixed class
$(this).removeClass('default').addClass('fixed');
});
// Initiate the trigger to show and hide the menu with the mouse event
$(menuTrigger).removeClass('hidden').addClass('block').mouseenter(function(){
$(menu).slideDown('fast').mouseleave(function(){
$(menu).slideUp('fast');
});
});
// If we scroll back to top and menu has fixed class, fadeIn menu
} else if($(this).scrollTop() <= pos.top && menu.hasClass('fixed')){
menu.fadeIn('fast', function(){
// Hide the trigger
$(menuTrigger).removeClass('block').addClass('hidden');
// Give menu default style
$(this).removeClass('fixed').addClass('default');
});
}
});
});
</script>
