YAY fixed navbars!! *pompoms*
You can see this style in action on my main domain--for Version 14, I discovered how to make a navbar "stick" to the top of the page so it would scroll with the user, and I'm pretty much in love with it. LOL
The main reason I like the fixed navbar so much is that it solves one of my biggest pet peeves in webdesign--having to scroll all the way up to the top of a long page to get back to the navigation. I wanted to spare my users that frustration, so I piddled around trying to figure out a simple, non-Javascript way to make it work till I found this.
I know it's not mobile-friendly (that'll be my challenge for V15--a mobile-friendly layout! GASP!), but what do y'all think of this navigation style?

My work screen is too big for it to scroll XD

Lol! My screen resolution must be tiny compared to your work screen--I have to scroll a tiny bit on most of my domain pages. :Dnyxmidnight wrote:My work screen is too big for it to scroll XD
Glad to hear it looks good even on an iPad--I hadn't tested too much on mobile except for my iPhone, which means a whole lotta zooming going on, :P

Ohh I love the fixed nav-bars! Especially the ones that seem to "snap" to the top of the screen as you scroll down. I want to implement these more in my designs in the future and break away from a lot of designs that I feel are out-dated (for me, personally). In general I want to put more effort into making my layouts.
I also really like sidebar sub-navs.

Awesome! Yeah, I keep trying to teach myself new webdesign tricks (with about 60% success rate, LOL), and this is one I like. I would love to learn how to do the ones that "snap" up to the top of the page, but I think that involves some jQuery and other scary languages I don't understand. xDDestinie wrote:Ohh I love the fixed nav-bars!

I finally figured out how to do a simple sidebar sub-nav one time, using several PHP include files (those things are such a blessing!!)--do you make yours the same way?
