Offset HTML anchor for fixed header

This is real work, not a feature someone invented — it comes from real job ads and real questions people asked. Below are four ready AI prompts: get it done, make it easy for the next person to say yes to, work out the right move when you are stuck, and stop it coming back.

Before we go live with the new product page, make sure all the anchor links in the table of contents scroll smoothly and position the target content perfectly below the fixed navigation bar, so users don't miss the section titles or feel disoriented when jumping around the page.

The marketing team just noticed that when you click on a section link, the heading gets cut off by the sticky navigation bar.
The marketing team just pointed out that on the new 'Features' page, when you click an anchor link, the section heading is always hidden behind the fixed navigation bar. This looks bad and makes it hard to quickly scan. I'm worried about the user experience, especially on mobile. What's the most reliable CSS or JavaScript technique to offset anchor links correctly with a fixed header, and what's the best practice for ensuring smooth scrolling too?

My anchor links consistently get obscured by fixed headers, leading to a poor user experience.
I keep having issues where fixed headers obscure the target content of anchor links, making users miss crucial information. This is a recurring frustration for me and for users navigating long pages. What habit should I change in how I implement fixed headers and anchor links to ensure that content always displays correctly and smoothly, without being cut off?

Questions people actually ask

honest answers, no sign-up

Every task here was seen in the real world. Someone doing the job named it, a real job ad asked for it, or a lot of people asked about it online.

If nothing real showed a task, it is not on the page. That is the whole rule.

They are the same job approached four ways, because what you need depends on where you are.

Get it done today. Make it easy for the next person to say yes to. Work out the right move when you are stuck. Learn the pattern so the job stops coming back.

For most of these jobs it can carry the heavy thinking - draft it, sort it, check it, rehearse it with you.

It cannot sit in your chair, take the blame when a number is wrong, or notice what nobody wrote down. Let it do the first 80%. Keep the last 20% that is truly yours.

No. Copy any prompt and paste it into the AI you already use. No account, no score, no wall in the way.

Any of them. The prompts describe the work rather than naming a product, so they are not tied to one assistant.

That is also why they keep working when you switch.

Change it freely. Every prompt is a starting line, not a rule.

Put in your real numbers, your real names and your real deadline. The more you make it yours, the better the answer comes back.

The tasks come from real job ads, published job data and the questions people ask in public forums.

The steps come from HTML's own documentation, with practitioner sources for the traps the manual does not mention.

Push once. Ask it to sharpen the weakest part and to say what it assumed.

Most wrong answers come from a missing detail rather than a bad prompt - tell it the thing it could not know.
