I am building a website with a fixed place menubar that is 35 px high on top of my page. In that menu I have four items that link to sections down the page. When I click on the links the page jumps to that section, but the 35 px menubar covers the top of the text.
How can I modify this site so that when I jump down to a section it doesn't link me to the exact part of the HTML document, but 35 px higher to take into consideration the static menubar?
I am doing this with href code:
<a href="#links"><li>Links</li></a>
<h1><a name="links">Links</a></h1>
Thanks!
EDIT: Menubar code
<div id="top-floating-bar"> <!-- Menubar -->
<div class="row">
<div class="column grid_12">
<div class="fixed-bar-buttons">
<ul>
<a href="#top"><li>Home</li></a>
<a href="#links"><li>Links</li></a>
<a href="#resume"><li>Resume</li></a>
<a href="#social"><li>Social</li></a>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div> <!-- End the Menubar -->
You can use jQuery .offset() and .scrollTop() function
I don't know how your top-floating-bar css is defined, but i know what you want.
The size of the menubar in the fiddle is not right, because i dont know your definition.
Html
<head>
<script src="jquery-1.5.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"><
$(function() {
$(".goto").click(function() {
var target = $(this).attr("href")
target = target.substring(1,target.length);
$(window).scrollTop($('a[name="'+target+'"]').offset().top - 35);
return false;
});
});
</script>
