I'm using a static bar at the top of my site, about 20px high. When I click an anchor link(for those who don't know, the navigation on wikipedia works like that. Click a title and the browser goes down to it) part of the text disappears behind that top bar.
Is there any way to stop this from happening? I'm not in a position where I can use an iFrame. Onlything I can think of is make it scroll back a bit each time, but is there another way? Some CSS setting to manipulate the body or something?
You could just use CSS without any javascript.
Give your anchor a class:
<a class="anchor"></a>
You can then position the anchor an offset higher or lower than where it actually appears on the page, by making it a block element and relatively positioning it. -250px will position the anchor up 250px
a.anchor{display: block; position: relative; top: -250px; visibility: hidden;}
