The bootstrap documentation on that topic is a little confusing to me. I want to achieve similar behaviour like in the docs with the affix navbar: The navbar is below a para
You just need to remove the script. Here is my example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8.0.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/twitter-bootstrap/2.1.0/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<style>
#content {
width: 800px;
height: 2000px;
background: #f5f5f5;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.menu {
background: #ccc;
width: 200px;
height: 400px;
float: left;
}
.affix {
position: fixed;
top: 20px;
left: auto;
right: auto;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="content">
<div style="height: 200px"></div>
<div class="affix-top" data-spy="affix" data-offset-top="180">
<div class="menu">AFFIX BAR</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
You need to remove .affix()
from your script.
Bootstrap gives the option of accomplishing things either via data-attributes
or straight JavaScript most of the time.
Similar to the accepted answer, you can also do something like the following to do everything in one go:
$('#nav').affix({
offset: { top: $('#nav').offset().top }
}).wrap(function() {
return $('<div></div>', {
height: $(this).outerHeight()
});
});
This not only invokes the affix
plugin, but will also wrap the affixed element in a div which will maintian the original height of the navbar.
