Menu
I'm experimenting with Bootstrap 3.2. I'm trying to create a fixed at top navigation bar but I'm running into two problems:
For the first problem, I've followed the Bootstrap example tip by adding a class to my css file, including this file below the Bootstrap css file in the html document, and then referring to the class.
.navbar-height{
body{padding-top: 200px;}
}
<body class="navbar-height">
Though, this seems to do nothing (as you can see I specified the number really high hoping to see a dramatic change, which did not occur).
Here's my the navigation bar:
<header id="header-navigation">
<div id="nav-bar-container">
<nav id="nav-bar" class="navbar navbar-default navbar-fixed-top" role="navigation">
<div id="nav-item-container" class="container-fluid">
<div id="drop-down" class="navbar-header">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default navbar-btn navbar-toggle collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#user-dropdown">
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</button>
<div id="home-button" class="navbar-left">
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#"><img alt="Brand" src=""></img></a>
</div>
</div>
<div id="user-dropdown" class="navbar-collapse collapse">
<ul class="dropdown-menu" id="dropdown-items" role="menu">
<li>
<div class="list-group-item">
<div class="row-picture">
<img class="circle" src="" alt="icon"></img>
</div>
<div class="row-content">
<h4 class="list-group-item-heading">Placeholder</h4>
<p class="list-group-item-text">Placeholder</p>
</div>
<div class="list-group-seperator"></div>
</div>
</li>
<li><a href="#"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-log-out"></span></a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</nav>
</div>
</header>
As a quick break down of the above code, I have a <header> tag which will hold the navigation bar. Within this <header>, I have a containing <div> (id="nav-bar-container") which only purpose is to act as a container for the navigation bar (maybe I'll add something else to the header and want to keep the bar seperate). Then, I have the actual <nav> which has the appropriate classes (or so I think): "navbar navbar-default navbar-fixed-top". The next <div> (id="nav-item-container") holds the components of the navigation bar. The following <div> (id="drop-down") contains the button (which seems to disappear at full-screen) and a link with a "brand", which always seems to be visible. The last major <div> contains the "drop down" content for when the button is pressed.
My Question: why is my navigation bar overlapping the content below it and over extending to the right hiding the button?

Ok, first thing, you don't need the <header> tag, so feel free to remove that.
Second, from the Docs on navbar-fixed-top, you need to have padding:
body { padding-top: 70px; }
Notice you applied it to the heading style; that won't work. Apply it to the body and it works fine.
As far as the 2nd issue, I don't actually see any horizontal scrolling when I removed the
<header> tag, so I think that may have been causing an issue.

To see what I mean. It's your code with the tag removed. Hope that helps!
