I am building a project with Bootstrap and im facing little issue .I have a container below the Nav-top.My issue is that some portion of my container is hidden below the nav
I know this thread is old, but i just got into that exactly problem and i fixed it by just using the page-header
class in my page, under the nav. Also i used the <nav>
tag instead of <div>
but i am not sure it would present any different behavior.
Using the page-header
as a container for the page, you won't need to mess with the <body>
, only if you disagree with the default space that the page-header
gives you.

This is handled by adding some padding
to the top of the <body>
.
As per Bootstrap's documentation on .navbar-fixed-top, try out your own values or use our snippet below. Tip: By default, the navbar
is 50px
high.
body {
padding-top: 70px;
}
Also, take a look at the source for this example and open starter-template.css.
It happens because with navbar-fixed-top
class the navbar gets the position:fixed
. This in turns take the navbar out of the document flow leaving the body to take up the space behind the navbar.
You need to apply padding-top
or margin-top
to your container
, based on your requirements with values >= 50px
. (or play around with different values)
The basic bootstrap navbar takes height around 40px
. So if you give a padding-top
or margin-top
of 50px
or more, you will always have that breathing space between your container and the navbar.
I too have had this problem but solved it without script and only using CSS. I start by following the recommended padding-top for a fixed menu by setting of 60px described on the Bootstrap website. Then I added three media tags that resize the padding at the cutoff points where my menu also resizes.
<style>
body{
padding-top:60px;
}
/* fix padding under menu after resize */
@media screen and (max-width: 767px) {
body { padding-top: 60px; }
}
@media screen and (min-width:768px) and (max-width: 991px) {
body { padding-top: 110px; }
}
@media screen and (min-width: 992px) {
body { padding-top: 60px; }
}
</style>
One note, when my menu width is between 768 and 991, the menu logo in my layout plus the <li>
options cause the menu to wrap to two lines. Therefore, I had to adjust the padding-top to prevent the menu from covering the content, hence 110px.
Hope this helps...
i solved it using jquery
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(e) {
var h = $('nav').height() + 20;
$('body').animate({ paddingTop: h });
});
</script>
Just define an empty navbar prior to the fixed one, it will create the space needed.
<nav class="navbar navbar-default ">
</nav>
<nav class="navbar navbar-default navbar-fixed-top ">
<div class="container-fluid">
// Your menu code
</div>
</nav>
