Move content under fixed nav bar with RESPONSIVE space filler












1














I'm going to base my question on the question "Moving DOM elements below a fixed navigation bar", since mine is very similar.






* {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
box-sizing: border-box;
}

nav {
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
top: 0;
background-color: #faf3dd;
opacity: 0.8;
}

nav:hover {
opacity: 1;
}

nav li {
display: inline-block;
list-style-type: none;
padding: 0.7em;
font-size: 1em;
;
border-bottom: solid 1px;
}

main {
background-color: #98fb98;
min-height: 100vh;
padding: 1em;
}


/*Solution suggested in linked question...*/

header {
height: calc(2.4em + 1px);
/* Why 2.4em? 2.4em = 0.7em x 2 (padding)+ 1em (fontSize) + 1px (borderBottom)*/
}

That snippet is altered a bit to suit me. I deliberately put many navigation list items to make my point clearer (I hope). The accepted solution in question linked above gives a non-responsive height to the <header>,
which here is acting as the space filler (".nav-box"). So when the viewport is resized (smaller), the list items wrap but the header isn't coded to move with the change - content gets covered by the fixed <nav>.



My Question:



How in just CSS (if possible) can the <header>'s height be set to respond to the <nav>'s change in height when the list items get wrapped?

          If you want a really responsive solution, remove the position: fixed from nav and add a position: sticky and top: 0 to your header.



          header {
          position: sticky;
          top: 0;
          }


          Attention this is IMHO the cleanest solution, but depending on your needs it may not suit you, since position: sticky is not supported in IE (if you care for IE)



          Example: https://codepen.io/anon/pen/MzrgEr

          • I think it will still look fine on older browsers like IE. They don't understand position:sticky;, so they will fall back to position:static;, right?

          • @ZechariahRaman Yeah, it just won't be sticky/fixed. It'll behave like a normal div, but it won't break anything and should still look ok in IE.

          You can use media queries if you know when the fixed navigation will have to take 2 lines. Yes, I know it's not a solid solution, but if your navigation size is fixed it can work.

            If you want a really responsive solution, remove the position: fixed from nav and add a position: sticky and top: 0 to your header.



            header {
            position: sticky;
            top: 0;
            }


            Attention this is IMHO the cleanest solution, but depending on your needs it may not suit you, since position: sticky is not supported in IE (if you care for IE)



            Example: https://codepen.io/anon/pen/MzrgEr

            • I think it will still look fine on older browsers like IE. They don't understand position:sticky;, so they will fall back to position:static;, right?

            • @ZechariahRaman Yeah, it just won't be sticky/fixed. It'll behave like a normal div, but it won't break anything and should still look ok in IE.

            You can use media queries if you know when the fixed navigation will have to take 2 lines. Yes, I know it's not a solid solution, but if your navigation size is fixed it can work.
