I am faced with a challenge involving a lengthy navigation menu (.nav-main) nested within a fixed header (header). When the navigation menu is toggled using jQuery .toggle(), the content extends beyond the window height and does not scroll. I am looking for a solution to add a scrollbar (ideally through CSS) to the child div within the fixed header:
<header class="clearfix">
<nav class="nav-main">
<button>Open Topics</button>
<ul>
<li><a href="">Section 1</a></li>
<li><a href="">Section 2</a></li>
<li><a href="">Section 3</a></li>
<li><a href="">Section 4</a></li>
<li><a href="">Section 5</a></li>
<li><a href="">Section 6</a></li>
<li><a href="">Section 7</a></li>
<li><a href="">Section 8</a></li>
<li><a href="">Section 9</a></li>
<li><a href="">Section 10</a></li>
<li><a href="">Section 11</a></li>
<li><a href="">Section 12</a></li>
<li><a href="">Section 13</a></li>
<li><a href="">Section 14</a></li>
<li><a href="">Section 15</a></li>
<li><a href="">Section 16</a></li>
<li><a href="">Section 17</a></li>
<li><a href="">Section 18</a></li>
<li><a href="">Section 19</a></li>
<li><a href="">Section 20</a></li>
</ul>
</nav><!--end nav-main-->
</header>
<div id="main">

</div><!--end main-->
The SCSS/CSS:
header{
background-color: #ccc;
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
.head-wrap{
position: relative;
height: 50px;
}
.nav-main{
position: relative;
button{
float: right;
margin-top: 10px;
margin-right: 70px;
background-color: pink;
}
ul{
display: none;
background-color: #333;
top: 50px;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
z-index: 2;
overflow: auto;
li{
background-color: #333;
a{
color: #fff;
text-decoration: none;
padding:10px 50px;
display: block;
}
}
}
}
}
#main{
margin-top: 50px;
p{
margin-bottom: 20px;
}
}
And my .toggle() JS:
$(".nav-main button").click(function(event){
$(".nav-main ul").toggle();
event.preventDefault();
});
If you have any tips or solutions, please let me know. Thank you!
