How to Create a Sticky Navigation Bar That Stays Fixed While Scrolling
This guide explains how to make a website’s top navigation bar stay fixed at the screen’s upper edge during scrolling by converting it into a dynamic panel, using the “Fix to Browser” option, setting precise offsets, and applying the same technique to other fixed‑position buttons such as back‑to‑top links.
Creating a Fixed Navigation Bar
Many web pages keep the top navigation bar visible while the user scrolls. In the UI prototyping tool, this effect is achieved by converting the bar into a dynamic panel and applying the “Fix to Browser” action, which sets the element’s CSS position to fixed.
Create the navigation bar layout and then right‑click the element and select Convert to Dynamic Panel . This groups the bar’s components so that its position can be controlled as a single unit.
Right‑click the dynamic panel and choose Fix to Browser . In the dialog set the horizontal (X) and vertical (Y) offsets that define where the bar should stay relative to the viewport. After confirming, the panel remains at the specified coordinates regardless of page scrolling.
Other Fixed‑Position Elements
The same “Fix to Browser” technique can be used for side‑bars, customer‑service widgets, feedback buttons, or “back‑to‑top” links. By fixing these components to the browser window, they stay visible while the main content scrolls.
Real‑World Examples
Websites such as 今日头条 and CSDN employ fixed navigation bars and floating action buttons that follow the same principle.
