Hi Atahualpa community,

I need help on something that I haven't found the solution to. I have a header that includes a logo and a menu bar and is fixed in its position at the top. I would like the header to be transparent when I'm at the very top of the page so that the beautiful background image can show through, but turn solid white upon scrolling. I can't figure out what CSS code I should insert in order to accomplish this. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
Daniel

Can you provide the URL of the site?

To change the property of the image 'on the fly' you are going to need a script to do it. You might want to look at the Jscript tutorials at https://www.w3schools.com/js/default.asp

It's test.dlimconsulting.com.

It's a draft website in progress.

Why don't you change the image by adding the whitespace to the top of it. Then make the logo/menu bar have a transparent background.

That way, when you scroll, the white - which is part of the image - will scroll up and the image will show thru the logo/menu.

of course since threr is text scrolling wth the image. that will show behind the logo/menu when it scrolls far enough...

That would actually do the opposite of what I want. I want the header to be transparent when the page is at the very top and then turn white when I'm scrolling. I hope this makes sense.

Ok, this isn't really an Atahualpa question, but a javascript question because you will need a javascript to do what you want. ut being intrigued, I thought I'd do some searching and see what I could find.

So I did a little googling and looked at w3schols.com and came up with this that would solve the case I first assumd it would be. This should be added to ATO->Add HTML/CSS Inserts->HTML Inserts: Body Bottom

<script>
onscroll = function() {myFunction()};

function myFunction() {
	document.getElementById("header").style.backgroundColor = "transparent";}
</script>

but you will have to do it a bit differently because you need to change the header to transparent to start and then change the color here. And you may have more to do, but I'll let you play with it and see where you get.

Feel free to ask for hints if you get stuck.
