Question

I have a HTML and CSS bar which is added to the top of a site, and need some code to keep it at the top when scrolling down.

I would be preferably using JavaScript, or anything that works, I just need something to keep it at the top.

Help is appreciated!

9gag.com also uses position:fixed; for the header, but in your case, it’s making it position:fixed !important is the solution, since it’s overridden below where you’ve put it on your site (at the top).

CSS:

#netbar{position:fixed !important;}

Edit:

The easiest way to achieve this without sacrificing the suckerfish position is to use jQuery, as you’ve mentioned

$(document).ready(function () {
  $(window).scroll(function () {
    $("#enjin-bar").css({
      "top": Math.max($('body').scrollTop(), $('html').scrollTop()) + 4
    });
    $("#netbar").css({
      "top": Math.max($('body').scrollTop(), $('html').scrollTop())
    });
  });
});

It works, however it’s incredibly glitchy; just set netbar to absolute again by removing the #netbar{position:fixed !important;} line from your site

Or if you’re willing to sacrifice the suckereye’s position for a little less glitchy-ness, use this code instead:

$(document).ready(function () {
  $(window).scroll(function () {
    $("#enjin-bar").css({
      "top": Math.max($('body').scrollTop(), $('html').scrollTop()) + 4
    });
  });
});

The enjin-bar is not a part of the netbar and that’s the main reason why it doesn’t follow the netbar when you scroll, so the easiest way to bypass this is to use jQuery

Edit2:

Replace the code from the pastie to the one below:

<div id="netbar">
    <div id="discover" role="directory">
        <ul>
    <li class="suckerfish">
        <span class="sitelogo">LinkyCraft</span>
        <ul class="section-drop">
            <li class="link-two"><a href="http://www.linkycraft.net/servers">Server Status</a></li>
            <li class="link-three"><a href="http://www.linkycraft.net/home">Survival Home</a>
            <li class="link-five"><a href="http://www.monlotron.enjin.com/">Our Designer</a>
</li>
        </ul>
    </li>
</ul>
    </div>
</div>
