By specifying CSS position property, we can create a fixed navigation bar using CSS.
The syntax of position property in CSS is as follows −
Selector {
position: /*value*/;
}The following is an example of CSS position property.
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
#navigation-bar {
overflow: hidden;
box-shadow: inset 0 0 20px green;
}
a {
float: left;
display: block;
margin-left: 2%;
padding: 2% 4%;
text-align: center;
color: black;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 1.2em;
border: 0.5px ridge red;
}
a:hover {
box-shadow: inset 0 0 14px red;
font-size: 1.6em;
}
.content {
background-color: coral;
padding: 16px;
}
.sticky {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
width: 100%;
}
.sticky + .content {
padding-top: 80px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="content"></div>
<div id="navigation-bar">
<a class="active" href="#">logo</a>
<a href="#">SignUp</a>
<a href="#">SignIn</a>
