Offsetting Anchor Links with Fixed Header
You could include padding-top
and then use negative margin-top
to balance it out.
jsFiddle
h2 {
padding-top: 70px;
margin-top: -70px;
}
@Daniel Imms solution is good but if headers had top margin it would be reset by this negative top margin. I found a solution that uses pseudoclasses:
h2:before {
display: block;
content: " ";
height: 20px; /* Give height of your fixed element */
margin-top: -20px; /* Give negative margin of your fixed element */
visibility: hidden;
}
Thus this doesn't reset original top-margin.
Well. I had this issue as well. The best and fastest solution I could find here is to use the following code snippet in your Style tag or CSS file.
html
{
scroll-padding-top: 12vw; /* height of sticky header */
}
