Menu
I have a site using Bootstrap with scrollspy and a fixed header. I have it working fine, but have run into a problem with scrollspy. There are a couple sections on the page that aren't part of the main navigation. When you're in these sections, the most recent 'active' link remains. Easiest to demonstrate the issue in a fiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/eric1086/R7S9t/1/
<body data-spy="scroll" data-target=".main-nav">
<nav class="main-nav">
<ul class="nav">
<li><a href="#first">First</a></li>
<li><a href="#second">Second</a></li>
<li><a href="#third">Third</a></li>
<li><a href="#fourth">Fourth</a></li>
<li><a href="#fifth">Fifth</a></li>
</ul>
</nav>
<section class="no-spy">
Don't spy me!
</section>
<section class="block" id="first">
First
</section>
etc...
Basically I only want the active state to show when a targeted element from the navbar is actually showing. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

The same happened to me, this is what I did.
I don't know if it's the best way to do it but it works.
Here's the code in your fiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/ZGsPm/1/
You add extra list items where your ignored sections go and add them a class ("ignore" in the example) and an id.
<body data-spy="scroll" data-target=".main-nav">
<nav class="main-nav">
<ul class="nav">
<li class="ignore"><a href="#no-spy-first"></a></li>
<li><a href="#first">First</a></li>
<li><a href="#second">Second</a></li>
<li><a href="#third">Third</a></li>
<li><a href="#fourth">Fourth</a></li>
<li><a href="#fifth">Fifth</a></li>
<li class="ignore"><a href="#no-spy-second"></a></li>
</ul>
</nav>
Then you add the corresponding id to those sections so you can reference them from the list item.
<section class="no-spy" id="no-spy-first">
Don't spy me!
</section>
<section class="block" id="first">
First
</section>
...
<section class="no-spy last" id="no-spy-second">
Don't spy me!
</section>
And finally, in Javascript (after you called the scrollspy function):
$('.ignore').css({'visibility':'hidden', 'width':'0%'});
Hope this helps!
