So if instead of selecting an author from the drop down menus you click on a letter of the alphabet, you jump down the page.<\/p>\n<p>The problem is that the content jumps *under* the header. Although, with the author menu the way it is, I&#8217;m not sure how many people use the alphabetical menu, it would still be nice if it the content viewers wanted to see didn&#8217;t scroll under the header image.<\/p>\n<p>I found one or two suggestions, neither of which worked properly for me.<\/p>\n<p>Does anyone have a good solution for this? I&#8217;ve got three separate fixed elements (header image, alphabet navigation, side navigation), and am using ems for my positioning of the content section, but I don&#8217;t think that should make a difference. I tried playing with positive and negative margins, and ended up with a mess&#8211;probably because I was doing it wrong, since the idea of positive and negative margins seems like it would work. Except that it didn&#8217;t. When I applied them to links, it screwed up regular hyperlinks.
