Please i need some help with this as i am new to html and css.

CodePudding user response:

In the first code, Remove overflow property from the navbar, and add a min-height to it like this,

.topnav {
      /* overflow: hidden; */
      background-color: #333;
      position: sticky;
      top: 0;
      min-height: 45px;
    }

Since you are using the float property in navigation items, it may cause trouble

The working code Code

CodePudding user response:

I have corrected your code because the overflow hidden dropdown menu was not visible checkout this code. If you want then I can paste the full code here. I hope this will help you.

Your first code solution

 .topnav {
            background-color: #333;
            position: sticky;
            top: 0;
        }
        @media screen and (min-width:768px){
            .topnav {
            display: flex;
        }  
        }
@media screen and (max-width: 767.98px){
    .topnav {
            overflow: hidden;
        }  
}

Your second code solution

ul {
    display: flex;
  list-style-type: none;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  /* overflow: hidden; */
  background-color: #333;
  position: -webkit-sticky; /* Safari */
  position: sticky;
  top: 0;
}
ul {
  list-style-type: none;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  /* overflow: hidden; */
  background-color: #38444d;
}
