Fixed page header overlaps in-page anchors

Question

If I have a non-scrolling header in an HTML page, fixed to the top, having a defined height:

Is there a way to use the URL anchor (the #fragment part) t

Answer 1

You can do this with jQuery:

var offset = $('.target').offset();
var scrollto = offset.top - 50; // fixed_top_bar_height = 50px
$('html, body').animate({scrollTop:scrollto}, 0);
