I've implemented a JavaScript-enabled scrolling navigation bar that starts below a hero graphic and then sticks to the top when it reaches the top of the page. The functionality works as intended, but there is one issue - when the navigation bar reaches the top, the div below it abruptly jumps instead of smoothly transitioning. It's a bit hard to explain, so here's the code snippet for reference:
I understand what's causing the problem: Once the navigation bar becomes fixed at the top, it overlaps with the div below, resulting in the sudden jump. However, I'm struggling to find a solution to make this transition smoother.
Below is the code snippet. Any input or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
