Sticky Navigation Test Page

Testing different sticky navigation implementations to identify and fix the issue

Example 1: BROKEN - Current Implementation

This reproduces the issue where sticky navigation is not clickable

Feature Page with Broken Sticky Nav

The tabs below will become unclickable when sticky

Content Section

Selected Tab: tab1

Try clicking the tabs when they become sticky. They might not work due to z-index stacking context issues.

Scroll down to see the sticky behavior...

Example 2: FIXED - Proper Z-Index & Isolation

This version uses proper z-index layering and isolation to fix the issue

Feature Page with Fixed Sticky Nav

The tabs below will remain clickable when sticky

Content Section

Selected Tab: tab1

✅ Tabs remain clickable when sticky!

Scroll down to see the working sticky behavior...

Example 3: ALTERNATIVE - Fixed Position Approach

Using fixed positioning instead of sticky with scroll detection

Feature Page with Fixed Nav

Alternative approach using fixed positioning

Content Section

Selected Tab: tab1

✅ Using fixed positioning (always visible)

This nav is always fixed at the top...

Example 4: RECOMMENDED - Clean Implementation

Best practice implementation with proper structure

🐛 Debugging Information

Common Issues with Sticky Navigation:

  • Z-Index Stacking Context: Parent elements with position: relative can create new stacking contexts
  • Overflow Hidden: Parent containers with overflow: hidden can clip sticky elements
  • Transform Property: Parent elements with transform create new stacking contexts
  • Will-change/Filter: CSS properties like will-change, filter, or backdrop-filter affect stacking
  • Top Value: Incorrect top values can position sticky elements behind other content

Solutions Applied:

  • Use `isolate` class: Creates a new stacking context to isolate z-index
  • Proper z-index hierarchy: Use z-10, z-20, z-30, z-40, z-50 consistently
  • Remove unnecessary relative positioning: Only use when needed
  • Set explicit background: Ensure sticky elements have solid backgrounds
  • Add shadow: Visual indication that element is above content

Recommended Fix for Your Pages:

// Change this:
<div className="sticky top-24 lg:top-28 z-[60] isolate bg-white border-b border-gray-200">

// To this:
<nav className="sticky top-0 z-40 bg-white border-b border-gray-200 shadow-sm">

// Or if you need specific top offset:
<nav className="sticky top-16 z-40 isolate bg-white border-b border-gray-200 shadow-sm">

📊 Z-Index Visualizer

z-10 (Content)
z-20 (Dropdown)
z-40 (Sticky Nav - Recommended)
z-30 (Modal Backdrop)

Visual representation of z-index layers. Sticky navigation should typically be at z-40 to stay above content but below modals (z-50).
