fixed positioning and linking to anchors

Sent by Duncan Smith on 2 August 2004 20:08


I'm designing a site that has a header that uses fixed positioning, 
with a big z-index, so that when the document scrolls, the header stays 
in place, while the content disappears underneath it. Like a frame. 
However, links that point to anchors in the content are hiding the 
content behind the header, and I don't know how to fix that. I've set 
up an example here:

http://homepage.mac.com/duncan.smith/example/example.css

There's a header div, a content div and a sidebar div. The header and 
sidebar use fixed positioning, and the content uses absolute 
positioning. The header has a background that is the same as the body 
and a big z-index, so when the content scrolls up, it is hidden. There 
are four "entry" divs in the content, each of which has a heading (with 
an id defined) and a couple paragraphs of garbage text. There is one 
"links" div in the sidebar, which has a four-item list of links, each 
of which point to one of the headings in the content: when you click on 
one, the text you want to see is hidden behind the header div. You 
might have to shrink the window to see the problem.

I was hoping there was some sort of scrolling property that I could 
set, so that I could set where the top of the viewable area was – or 
something like that – but I can't find one.

Thanks for any ideas,
Duncan
