This can also be debatable. For a reading website, you may want it to disappear when there has been no touch for a period of time and only show when scrolling. Best, Karl DeSaulniers Design Drumm http://designdrumm.com On Jan 28, 2016, at 5:16 PM, Karl DeSaulniers

As was hiding the nav mine.. :) I understand where you are coming from. You have to program it right. It has to work with the fluid movement of your user, so it must appear when there has been no touch for a period of time. There is also the factor of having it slide in quickly or fad in

Thanks everyone, I should clarify: I have a main menu that is located at the top of the viewport as a hamburger, but a submenu on each page for more reading on that page topic. That second menu is the one I am asking about. It is currently below the main nav and text header/paragraph at top. So I

Unless of course you hide it on scroll/touch of the main area above the nav. Best, Karl DeSaulniers Design Drumm http://designdrumm.com On Jan 28, 2016, at 3:10 PM, Tom Livingston wrote: > it also takes up screen real estate, IMHO.

When I read this I assumed J.C. was referring to a navigation bar that is fixed to the bottom of the screen, and I think D'Arcy provided a solution (I didn't test it). I think there are very valid use cases for this design pattern. If the navigation is accessible from the bottom of the screen it

Thanks everyone, great suggestions. But I have to clarify something and here I am really open to best practices - our site has a regular complete menu on every page, but each page also has a submenu for "more reading" on a subject. So I wanted the main menu to be at top where it is now - hamburger
