Is the top margin of the page not properly aligned?

Upon loading my page, I noticed that the bar at the top covers the header. However, by clicking the hide bar arrow, the header becomes visible. When I click the reappear arrow, the margin adjusts automatically to place the header underneath the bar.

I'm puzzled as to why the bar doesn't create a margin when the page loads. Do you have any ideas on how to fix this? Here is the javascript and code I'm currently using. The website in question is

Any assistance on this matter would be greatly appreciated!

<script type="text/javascript">
    var stub_showing = false;

    function woahbar_show() { 
        if(stub_showing) {
          $('.woahbar-stub').slideUp('fast', function() {
            $('.woahbar').show('bounce', { times:3, distance:15 }, 100); 
            $('body').animate({"marginTop": "2.4em"}, 250);
          }); 
        }
        else {
          $('.woahbar').show('bounce', { times:3, distance:15 }, 100); 
          $('body').animate({"marginTop": "2.4em"}, 250);
        }
    }

    function woahbar_hide() { 
        $('.woahbar').slideUp('fast', function() {
          $('.woahbar-stub').show('bounce', { times:3, distance:15 }, 100);  
          stub_showing = true;
        }); 

        if( $(window).width() > 1024 ) {
          $('body').animate({"marginTop": "0px"}, 250); // if width greater than 1024 pull up the body
        }
    }

    $().ready(function() {
        window.setTimeout(function() {
        woahbar_show();
     }, 5000);
    });
</script>

Answer №1

The style="margin-top: 2.4em;" property is applied to the body element following the initial load of the bar. To implement this style in the body's CSS, try the following:

body { margin-top: 2.4em; }

However, this does not clarify why the initial animate operation is not triggering. Perhaps replacing $(document).ready with $(window).load might solve the issue?
