How to make sticky nav in Grid

Question

I am using a grid for the first time and want to make nav-bar sticky. I used:

position: sticky; top: 0; 

but nothing happened. Next:

position: fixed; 

but then everything spoiled

I want to have nav-bar in the same position when the page is scrolling. I tried event jquery but the result was the same.

Answer 1

Ok I hope this is what you want:

1st: I added a wrapper for the part of your navbar that should stick to the top. This is only the actual navbar not the profile image. For that I added the line (see comment reference within HTML: line 18): <div class="nav-sticky">

2nd: I closed the wrapper by adding this line at the end of the nav-bar (see HTML comment reference: line 33): </div>

3rd: I added a css line for the wrapper to be sticky: .nav-sticky { position: sticky; top: 0; } .nav-sticky { position: sticky; top: 0; } .nav-sticky { position: sticky; top: 0; } (CSS-line: 355 - 360).

Now the Navbar will scroll until it reaches the top of the screen and remain there. If you want the profile image to stick to the top too, you just need to move the opening tag of the wrapper above the image tag to have it included within the wrapper.
