<style>
  #navbar {
    position: fixed;
    top: 0px;
    left: 0px;    
    width: 100%;
    background-color: #767676;
  }
  nav ul {
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 5px 0px 5px 30px;
  }
  nav li {
    display: inline;
    margin-right: 20px;
  }
  a {
    text-decoration: none;
  }
</style>
<body>
  <header>
    <h1>Welcome!</h1>
    <nav id="navbar">
      <ul>
        <li><a href="">Home</a></li>
        <li><a href="">Contact</a></li>
      </ul>
    </nav>
  </header>
  <p>I shift up when the #navbar is fixed to the browser window.</p>
</body>

Code Explanation:

#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.
