Why is the nav bar position:sticky attribute not working ? But if i set position to fixed, it works in that case. I want it to become fixed on the top as we scroll just as facebook. I am trying to create a clone-facebook. I am beginner trying to learn web-development. 1st code is HTML while 2nd is CSS Stylesheet

CodePudding user response：

Just add top:0; and z-index: 9999;
