```html
|
|
<style>
|
|
#navbar {
|
|
position: fixed;
|
|
top: 0px;
|
|
left: 0px;
|
|
width: 100%;
|
|
background-color: #767676;

padding: 5px 0px 5px 30px;
|
|
}
|
|

|
|
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.
