Space over Navbar-CodePudding

I've got a question. I was trying to code a navbar. It's working perfectly except for the fact that over the navbar there is a big space. So that the navbar is in the middle of the page. I've got no clue what the mistake could be. If u got an idea of what the problem could be and how to solve it, I Would be very pleased. Otherwise, I would be happy to get improvement tips for my code.

.navbar {
  position: fixed;
  display: -webkit-box;
  display: -ms-flexbox;
  display: flex;
  -webkit-box-align: center;
  -ms-flex-align: center;

Because you have top: 20%; on your .navbar with fixed positioning. You also have margin-top: 2px on your navbar. Remove that and you should be good.

.navbar {
  position: fixed;
  /*top: 20%;*/
  display: -webkit-box;
  display: -ms-flexbox;

CodePudding user response：

It's because you have the navbar set to a fixed position with a top of 20%.

.navbar {
  position: fixed; //this will make sure the navbar always stays in its position
  display: -webkit-box;
  display: -ms-flexbox;
  display: flex;
  -webkit-box-align: center;
      -ms-flex-align: center;
          align-items: center;
  -webkit-box-pack: justify;
      -ms-flex-pack: justify;
          justify-content: space-between;
  top: 20%; //this is what is causing the "space" above
  width: 100%;
  height: 70px;
  background-color: black;
  -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 10px var(--shadow);
          box-shadow: 0 0 10px var(--shadow);
    color:white;
    margin-top:2px;
}

You're telling the navbar to go down 20% of the page with the top:20%. If you don't want the space, just remove the top: 20% and you should be fine.

CodePudding user response：

The issue is you have the navbar set to top: 20%;. You need to set it the fixed position to top 0%:

.navbar {
   top: 0%;
   left: 0%;
   right: 0%;
}
