Responsive navbar blocks body content once it’s opened

Before you try to make a solution make sure responsive toolbar is enabled on your chrome browser. I am trying to first make the responsive design for mobile then for desktop. But I am having this problem where I open the hamburger menu and the navbar blocks my content. I tried to fix this by doing position: relative; but I want to make the navbar fixed so when I scroll it’s up there. Also when I click the hamburger menu while I am scrolling it just comes back to the top. Please help me

const toggleButton = document.getElementsByClassName('toggle-button')[0]
const navbarLinks = document.getElementsByClassName('navbar-links')[0]

toggleButton.addEventListener('click', () => {
    navbarLinks.classList.toggle('active')
})

Answer

When you click on your menu it will jump to the top, because your menu is an a element. Just change it to a div:

<div class="toggle-button">
    <span class="bar"></span>
    <span class="bar"></span>
    <span class="bar"></span>
</div>

JavaScript
 
<div class="toggle-button">
    <span class="bar"></span>
    <span class="bar"></span>
    <span class="bar"></span>
</div>
​

In order to make the content visible when the menu is opened, you can add a margin to your first section. You can add a check for how far the page is scrolled to prevent adding and removing the margin when opening the menu while scrolled down. Change your .js to:

const toggleButton = document.getElementsByClassName('toggle-button')[0]
const navbarLinks = document.getElementsByClassName('navbar-links')[0]
const firstSection = document.querySelector("section:first-of-type")

toggleButton.addEventListener('click', () => {
    navbarLinks.classList.toggle('active')
    firstSection.classList.toggle('marginTop');
})

window.addEventListener('scroll', function(){ 

    if(window.scrollY > 100){
        firstSection.classList.add("scrolled");
    }
    else {
        firstSection.classList.remove("scrolled");
    }

});

JavaScript
 
const toggleButton = document.getElementsByClassName('toggle-button')[0]
const navbarLinks = document.getElementsByClassName('navbar-links')[0]
const firstSection = document.querySelector("section:first-of-type")
​
toggleButton.addEventListener('click', () => {
    navbarLinks.classList.toggle('active')
    firstSection.classList.toggle('marginTop');
})
​
window.addEventListener('scroll', function(){ 
​
    if(window.scrollY > 100){
        firstSection.classList.add("scrolled");
    }
    else {
        firstSection.classList.remove("scrolled");
    }
​
});
​

In your .css (transition to make it a bit more smooth):

section:first-of-type {
    transition-duration: 1s;    
}

section.marginTop:not(.scrolled) {
    margin-top: 200px;
}

JavaScript
 
section:first-of-type {
    transition-duration: 1s;    
}
​
section.marginTop:not(.scrolled) {
    margin-top: 200px;
}
​
