With this tutorial, we will show you how to configure anchors at the perfect height with either position sticky or fixed.<\/p>\n

We found various ways to pull this off with CSS but we also found additional coding information on the web.<\/p>\n

The first thing required is that your fixed or sticky header needs to be measured in pixels to get an approximate height of your header.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n

Result of anchors with a fixed header.<\/h2>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

We can clearly see in our example that the title is in the anchor. Logically, seeing as my ID is above it, we should land above the title.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t

CSS for your sticky or fixed header<\/h2>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

You need to make sure to add the following CSS value: top:0. It’s this value that will position perfectly your anchor at the right spot.<\/p>\n

The problem with headers configured with a sticky or fixed position is that the anchor doesn’t always land where you want it to be given there’s a gap caused by the pixel height of the header.<\/p>\n

Here our HTML body needs to have the sticky CSS while the header needs position and top.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n

body.stiky header {\n  position: sticky;\n  background: #fff;\n  z-index: 3;\n  width: 100%;\n  left: 0;\n  top: 0;\n}<\/pre><\/div>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t
We then found this helpful code which will fix the gap issue.<\/p>\n
In our example, the height of our header is 215px.<\/strong>
\nOFFSET_HEIGHT_PX: 215,<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n
Javascript to add in the footer<\/h2>
<script>\n(function(document, history, location) {\n  var HISTORY_SUPPORT = !!(history && history.pushState);\n\n  var anchorScrolls = {\n    ANCHOR_REGEX: \/^#[^ ]+$\/,\n    OFFSET_HEIGHT_PX: 215,\n\n    \/**\n     * Establish events, and fix initial scroll position if a hash is provided.\n     *\/\n    init: function() {\n      this.scrollToCurrent();\n      $(window).on('hashchange', $.proxy(this, 'scrollToCurrent'));\n      $('body').on('click', 'a', $.proxy(this, 'delegateAnchors'));\n    },\n\n    \/**\n     * Return the offset amount to deduct from the normal scroll position.\n     * Modify as appropriate to allow for dynamic calculations\n     *\/\n    getFixedOffset: function() {\n      return this.OFFSET_HEIGHT_PX;\n    },\n\n    \/**\n     * If the provided href is an anchor which resolves to an element on the\n     * page, scroll to it.\n     * @param  {String} href\n     * @return {Boolean} - Was the href an anchor.\n     *\/\n    scrollIfAnchor: function(href, pushToHistory) {\n      var match, anchorOffset;\n\n      if(!this.ANCHOR_REGEX.test(href)) {\n        return false;\n      }\n\n      match = document.getElementById(href.slice(1));\n\n      if(match) {\n        anchorOffset = $(match).offset().top - this.getFixedOffset();\n        $('html, body').animate({ scrollTop: anchorOffset});\n\n        \/\/ Add the state to history as-per normal anchor links\n        if(HISTORY_SUPPORT && pushToHistory) {\n          history.pushState({}, document.title, location.pathname + href);\n        }\n      }\n\n      return !!match;\n    },\n    \n    \/**\n     * Attempt to scroll to the current location's hash.\n     *\/\n    scrollToCurrent: function(e) { \n      if(this.scrollIfAnchor(window.location.hash) && e) {\n      \te.preventDefault();\n      }\n    },\n\n    \/**\n     * If the click event's target was an anchor, fix the scroll position.\n     *\/\n    delegateAnchors: function(e) {\n      var elem = e.target;\n\n      if(this.scrollIfAnchor(elem.getAttribute('href'), true)) {\n        e.preventDefault();\n      }\n    }\n  };\n\n\t$(document).ready($.proxy(anchorScrolls, 'init'));\n})(window.document, window.history, window.location);\n<\/script><\/pre><\/div>
Final result with the anchor<\/h2>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t
We see that the anchor is positioned exactly where the ID is, i.e. above the title.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t

Slide effect on the anchor<\/h2>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t
You can also add a slide effect that drops the ID towards the anchor.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n
