Add Section above Navigation Bar

Hi all,

I'm starting a new website and one of the elements the client is asking for is a small section above the navigation bar for an image and some text (please see the attached).

Seems simple to do, but I haven't been able to land a solution yet.  Has anyone achieved something similar?

Thanks,
-Scott

Squarespace have a standard feature - announcement bar which appears on the top of your website.

If you need to add a custom layout like your images attached, we can add it on the footer and use some javascript code to move it above the header.

It is noticed that javascript is only available on Business Plan or above ones.

Thank you for your reply.  The announcement bar doesn't hold graphics, so this wouldn't be a suitable solution for what we need to do here.  I'm curious - couldn't moving a section to the top also be done with CSS?  

It's possible with CSS, but it depends

• Black nav will stick to top on scroll or not?
• This for one page or all pages?

With CSS the solution might be to create that section as the first section, then use CSS position to move the position of the two sections.

Hi @tuanphan this was super helpful for us, but I noticed when I am previewing the site in the header it looks perfect but when I go to actually preview the link in a private browser the home page is all messed up. Do I need to adjust the css in some way? I'd appreciate your help! Screenshots below for reference.

Hi @tuanphan I added the code below to the home page header code injection. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you!

<style>
  #header {
    position: absolute;
    top: 800px;
    left: 0;
  }
  section[data-section-id="63d2bf7a62c5995280861b4e"] {
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 50px;
    left: 0;
  }
  #siteWrapper.site-wrapper .sqs-button-element--primary {
    border-color: #E8927C;
  }
</style>
<style>
@media screen and (max-width: 641px) {
   #header {
    position: absolute;
    top: 650px;
    left: 0;
  }
  section[data-section-id="63d2bf7a62c5995280861b4e"] {
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 50px;
    left: 0;
  }
  #siteWrapper.site-wrapper .sqs-button-element--primary {
    border-color: #E8927C;
  }
  }
</style>

Hi @tuanphan just following up on this. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you!

Hi @whereisscott thank you for providing the code. It worked perfectly for our site. The only thing we noticed though is that the changes took in the editor preview mode, but when we view the site in a private window outside the editor the hero section looks completely off. You can see above for screenshots. Would you be able to help us with this? Our site URL is https://penguin-toucan-s42t.squarespace.com/ and the password is DoveLove2023! Thank you for advice you have.

Hi @whereisscott we actually found a better solution for the hero image above the navigation but now the entire section disappears when we preview the site outside the squarespace editor preview. Have you seen this before? Any ideas on how to fix? We would appreciate your help!

I actually figured this out. Thank you!

Hello there,

I put this code in the homapage code injection and when I go to edit the page the edit bar is out of the section and I can't get to it. When I remove the code the problem is gone. Is there any solution?

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://d1j8mu9lowy9zf.cloudfront.net/twcsl/0.2.2/twcsl.js"></script>
<script>
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded",function() {
    const header = document.getElementById('header');
    const firstSection = document.querySelector('.page-section:first-child');
    firstSection.after(header);
});

</script>
<style>

@media screen and (min-width: 768px) {
#header {
  position: sticky;
  top: 0;
  display: none;
}
main .page-section:first-child + #header {
  display: block;
}
main .page-section:first-child {
  min-height: calc(100vh - 93px)!important;
}
}

</style>

Suppose your site is despina.squarespace.com

You can access despina.squarespace.com/config/safe

It will disable code in Edit Mode, then you can edit everything in edit mode easier

Τhanks, now it works for editing but when Ι exit the edit mode the code still doesn't work.

OK I found it. "Enable scripts" .

Οne more question please. When the site is live, my client will be able to do the same for possible editing?

Above code for SS 7.1, your site is 7.0

Use this code to Website Tools (under Not Linked) > Code Injection > Footer

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.7.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
  $(document).ready(function(){
    $('body.homepage header#header').insertAfter('.banner-thumbnail-wrapper.has-description');
});
</script>
<style>
  body.homepage header#header {
    position: sticky !important;
    position: -webkit-sticky !important;
    top: 0 !important;
    background-color: white !important;
}
</style>

I used this code and it works but the section above the navigation is HUGE on desktop - how can I fix the size?

    const firstSection = document.querySelector('.page-section:first-child');
    firstSection.after(header);
});

#header {

main .page-section:first-child + #header {

Please post the URL for a page on your site where we can see your issue.

A link to the backend of the your site won’t work for us, i.e. a url that contains /config/.

Please set up a site-wide password, if your site is not public and you've not already done so.

Post the password here.

Adding a site-wide password does not allow anyone to alter your site. It only allows those with the password to see your site.

Please read the site-wide password and how to share a link documentation to understand how they work.

We can then take a look at your issue.

You mean you want same video, or the code run and same as video and that's not what you want, so what is your desired result?
