Bootstrap is having trouble displaying the collapsed menu due to the abundance of content on the page

While the menu itself opens without any problems, I am facing an issue where the content within the menu is not visible due to other elements on the page obstructing the view. Ideally, I was expecting the collapsed drop-down menu to appear over the existing content.

This is my current setup which will be demonstrated with a jsfiddle link:

<div id="header" style="height: 200px; background-image: url({{ header_image }})" class="background-image">
  <nav class="navbar navbar-default">
    <div class="container-fluid">
      <div class="navbar-header">
        <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#collapse-partition" aria-expanded="false">
          <span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span><span class="icon-bar"></span><span class="icon-bar"></span><span class="icon-bar"></span>
        </button>
        <a class="navbar-brand" href="#!/home">{{ site_logo_name }}</a>
      </div>

      <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="collapse-partition">
        <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
          <!--bootstrap standard link and dropdown-->
        </ul>
      </div>
    </div>
  </nav>
</div>

Link to jsfiddle - There seems to be some issues regarding the functionality of the dropdown and its behavior upon resizing, but that's the code snippet.

Answer №1

It seems like the elements below your navbar may be positioned incorrectly due to the way your navbar is wrapped in another element. To fix this issue, consider adding the class of navbar-static-top to your navbar or applying a position and higher z-index to your #header like this:

#header{
  position:relative;
  z-index:1;
}

If a z-index of 1 doesn't resolve the problem, try increasing the number until it works.

For reference, here is a functional fiddle: Working Fiddle Demo

By the way, your fiddle may not work correctly because you didn't load jquery before bootstrap's js file.
