2018-10-12 15:37:13 -04:00

* `#navbar{}` selects all the elements with the ID of `navbar` .
* `position: fixed;` positions the element with respect to the viewport i.e. the output screen in this case.
* `top: 0px;` and `right: 0px;` offsets the element by `0px` to the top and left respectively and it is placed in the top-left corner of the screen.
