Fixed Headers and Section Anchors with bootstrap

I swear I have tried everything that I can think of to solve this issue. I have a fixed bootstrap navbar, using a javascript onscroll event listener to apply the fixed attribute...I tried using style in the markup, but it did not have the desired effect. So of course this is a repetitive issue, but I have tried all the recommendations and then some. At least all that I could find. The problem is that when I use any #about internal link, the content falls beneath the navbar. I have tried margins, absolute, relative, top -...px on .section2. None of it worked.
And please I am new to this, so any solutions, please make it specific to my code and not just add a position to the anchor. Give me the exact class/id and what to add, or remove, or both.
here is a link to the live page to see what happens when you click any link for #about section: portfolio #about
https://kingdomb.github.io/live_portfolio/#about
NOTE: The code below does not give display the error properly so use the link above.
UPDATE: 3/22 02:16
I managed to find this:
Come on guys!
This have a very simple solution, create your ancho like this:
<div style="margin: -50px 0px 50px 0px; position: absolute;">
<a id="myanchor"></a>
</div>
With -50px margin what i make is upper the anchor div, and with 50px margin, i push down the next content. You only have to make your test with your custom margins.
Works like a charm. I use this trick in all one page design websites.
BUT, now one click on the about link in the navbar to #myanchor gives me this:
And if I click the exact same navbar link I get a minor adjustment to this:
THANKS!!!

The reason you are having this issue is that the .section2 section it looks like you have a margin-top: 200px. Therefore creating that space. Now you can just adjust accordingly.
I would be careful when using margins. Using them only if you have to. I rarely use it, only for minor tweaks and responsiveness. If you are styling correct there should be no use for margins. I would take a look into using Flexbox. This is super useful when creating nice functional layouts. It's a great starter for new people too. The sooner you get into it, the easier layouts will be for you.
I also noticed that you are using javascript to add external links that open in a new page. To do that an easier way is to do something like this <a href="someoutsidelink.com" target="_blank">. Here is a reference, w3schools
As for your navbar fixed, here is some code that you should use instead of the one you have now.
var elementPosition = $("#navbar").offset();
$(window).scroll(function() {
if ($(window).scrollTop() > elementPosition.top) {
$("#navbar")
.css("position", "fixed")
.css("top", "0");
} else {
$("#navbar").css("position", "static");
}
});
Edit One:
Here's one way to do this one is adding a blank <div class="blank"> tags. Place it on top of the <section class="section2"> opening tag. then add a height: 200px; width: 100% therefore creating that space.

I found a solution! I refactored the code in the ABOUT section to this:
<!-- ABOUT -->
<div class="blank" style="position: absolute">
<a id="myanchor"></a>
</div>
<section id="about" class="section2">
<div class="row-fluid">

Accordion content inside each dropdown option not working

I'm trying to create an accordion inside each dropdown, but it's not working properly. The all accordions for each dropdown option displayed in the first dropdown options and if I choose another dropdown option, the accordion is cannot open when clicked it. How to fix this?
Here's the link for full snippet
$(function() {
$('#faqDrodpown').change(function(){
$('.faqs').hide();
$('#' + $(this).val()).show();
});
$('#accordion-faq').find('.accordionfaq-toggle').click(function() { /*Expand or collapse this panel*/
$(this).next().slideToggle('fast');
$(".accordionfaq-content").not($(this).next()).slideUp('fast');
});
});

Just changed jquery $('#accordion-faq').find('.accordionfaq-toggle') to $('#accordion-faq .accordionfaq-toggle') and its work fine for me
Edit:
Changed $('#faqDrodpown').change() function that toggle class hide
and added css on that class for hide content and for onload to hide other faq block i added some js code
$(function() {
$('.faqs').addClass('hide');
$('#' + $('#faqDrodpown').val()).removeClass('hide');
$('#faqDrodpown').change(function(){
$('.faqs').addClass('hide');
$('#' + $(this).val()).removeClass('hide');
});
$('#accordion-faq .accordionfaq-toggle').click(function(){ /*Expand or collapse this panel*/
$(this).next('.accordionfaq-content').slideToggle('fast');
$(".accordionfaq-content").not($(this).next()).slideUp('fast');
});
});

The background image of the snowy mountains with the sled is almost 17 MB large. Parallax effects usually cause repainting on the browser. Repainting something that huge is a performance nightmare.
Reducing the file size of background1.jpg would help tremendously.

Adding padding is working differently in Chrome and Firefox than it is in Safari

What I Am Making
On my site, the navigation bar does not start at the top of the page, instead it is a little way down the page, under the header/banner. When the user scrolls down past the nav bar, I change it's position to fixed so that it now stays visible at the top of the page as they scroll through the rest of the content.
I want this to look really seamless, so, when the navbar becomes fixed, I add some padding to the main content to stop it from jumping up into the space where the navbar was. I'm doing all this in my javascript, using jQuery to add classes ands styles to particular elements.
The Problem
In Safari, my code is working perfectly! The problem I have is that on Chrome and Firefox it seems like I need to add more padding than I do on Safari. On Chrome and Firefox the content is still jumping up slightly after the navbar becomes fixed. Whilst trying different values, I discovered that on those browsers, I need exactly 20 extra padding to make the transition seamless, but then the content jumps up too far on Safari!
Why is this extra padding needed on some browsers but not Safari?
If anyone can help I would be truly grateful because this is really bugging me! I have no idea why this is behaving differently in different browsers.
Here is a code snippet. I've tried to minimise the amount of code needed to recreate the issue but the CSS is a bit verbose because I thought I'd better include it all in case there's something there that is causing the issue.
----- EDIT -----
OK I discovered that the element which is causing the problem is my .navbar-button which I didn't include in my original snippet. I have added it in now. This is the thing which is behaving differently in different browsers.
I had to add margin to this element because it was not positioning correctly in Chrome or Firefox without it, whereas in Safari it was positioned just fine.
This extra margin is what is causing the issue.

var $navBar = $(".navbar");
$(window).scroll(handleScroll);

}
function fixNavbarToTopIfNecessary() {
var bannerHeight = $("#banner").outerHeight();
//When user scrolled past the initial position of the navbar
if ($(window).scrollTop() > bannerHeight) {
$navBar.addClass("navbar-fixed");
$("#content").css("padding-top", $navBar.outerHeight() + "px"); // So that the content doesn't jump underneath the fixed nav.
} else {
$navBar.removeClass("navbar-fixed");
$("#content").removeAttr("style");
}
}

I found two solution for your problem (use each of them is enough).
Method 1) Change margin-top and margin-bottom of .navbar-button to 0 (to prevent vertical margin collapsing...) , and use vertical-align: middle; for center it vertically:
.navbar-button {
background-color: #a16fff;
border-color: #8748ff;
padding: 8px 10px;
margin: 0 15px; /* *** margin top & bottom are changed to zero! */
vertical-align: middle; /* *** this is new! */
line-height: normal;
box-shadow: -2px 3px 7px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
}
Method 2) remove display: inline-block from .btn class:
.btn {
background-color: #a16fff;
border: 1px solid #8748ff;
color: #fff;
/* display: inline-block; */ /* *** this is removed! */
...
}
it is obvious that if you don't want to change default styles of .btn, you can add display: block to your navbar button manually as an inline style (style="display: block;") or using a new css class (eg: .block) for it.
<li>
<a class="btn navbar-button" href="#" style="display: block;">Button</a>
</li>

How to create the Super Saiyan effect in CSS / JS ?

When I was a child, I used to read all Dragon Ball manga books.
The Super Saiyan effect (surrounding aura and lightning) is really cool!
Now I have an event page which lists all upcoming events in cards and it looks like this:
And here is the code
<div class="col-sm-3 col-xs-12 event">
<div class="row hidden-xs icon">
<div class="title">16 Apr</div>
<div class="event-time"><i>8:00PM</i></div>
<div class="sub-title">Registration Opens 14 Apr</div>
</div>
<div class="row hidden-xs sub-icon">
<div><span>LRC Thursday Night Run test long long</span></div>
<div>
<input type="button" class="btn btn-primary" value="Register" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="row visible-xs-inline-block hidden-lg hidden-md hidden-sm event-sm">
<div class="col-xs-4 event-left">
<div class="event-day">16</div>
<div class="event-month">apr</div>
<div class="event-time"><i>8:00PM</i></div>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-8 event-right">
<div class="event-notice">Registration Opens 14 Apr</div>
<div class="event-title">LRC Night Run</div>
<div class="event-slogan">Come run with us</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
One of them is a special event.
So here is what I want:
I want this special event being surrounded by the "Super Saiyan" effect!
So it will look like this one:
(sorry the Saiyan isn't drawn beautifully, but the effect is well addressed)
So there will be many lightning strikes and flames around this event card, and they are flowing!
Sorry, I cannot come up with any css code for this one as I am not even sure that whether it can be done by css or not.
Is it possible?
Update
If this is impossible, how about the static lightning and flames(KI)? And it has to be responsive.
Update 2
Also, this page is responsive, and it would be terrible if the flame and lightning were mis-placed when the page got resized.
So here is how it looks like on a smaller screen
Update 3
Here is my css code for event card:

I am a bit unsure if you wanted the yellow KI glow or the lighting so i went for the lighting effect.
I reused a simple <svg> shape with the <use> element.
The lighting shape is taken from Gohan.
The top left lighting.

This might not be the best way, but a quick way could be to download an animated gif of super saiyan, make it transparent, edit the character out, then use css to overlay the image on your event.
With better photo editing software this could probably look a lot better, but this only took me about 5 minutes.
Here's the code: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/gpLMGr
<div class="event">
<img id="saiyan" src="http://i.stack.imgur.com/CFoa1.gif" />
<h1 class="date">19 APR</h1>
<span class="time">10:00 PM</span>
<br>
<span class="note">registration</span>
<div class="bottom-reg">
<p>LRC</p>
<input placeholder="REGISTER"></input>
</div>
</div>
<style>
#saiyan {
position: absolute;
z-index: 1;
width: 160%;
height: 100%;
left: -30%;
top: 0;
}
</style>
I just absolutely position the image over the rest of the event object, and have its width and height dependent on the event div.

Disclaimer: this code is for the lulz.
Moved by curiosity, I've created a small example you might like:
Running demo on jsFiddle
Lightning effect
I've used the HTML5 Canvas Lightning from this fiddle, that is itself a fork of akm2's Lightning Points (Lightning 2); the canvas is then placed under a div with 0.99 of opacity, 20px oversized on each side, to give the effect of surrounding the boundaries, but only of few pixels.
Fire effect
The fire effect in CSS is easily achievable with the text-shadow property; I've taken parts of this but it is the same code I've seen dozens of time in many articles / fiddles, probably the first one ever is the one in the second link.
Since this applies only to text and not, for example, to divs, I've used the content attribute of the :before pseudo-element of the .sayan div to create a huge text composed by symbols (for a romantic reason, I've used the Go (悟) kanji from Goku (悟空), but the important is that it is not a recognizable alphabetic character, or goodbye aura effect... try it by yourself with content: 'a';), and I've put it between the canvas and the div with a negative z-index.
This is just an experiment for fun, not production code nor responsive stuff as asked in the question (even though if you resize the page, the divs move and the sayan div will retain its capabilities); my attempt to answer the question:
is it possible to do it, and how ?
, that I hope you liked.
If you want to transform it to something more serious, there is a lot of work to do (first of all, alter the script to make some dots moving only along the sides, to prevent having all of them inside the square), but I still suggest you to use a transparent animated PNG, or however something easier and less CPU-killer than this, declaratively made for the sake of the lulz ;)
