Please i need some help with this as i am new to html and css.
>Solution :
In the first code, Remove overflow property from the navbar, and add a min-height to it like this,
.topnav {
/* overflow: hidden; */
background-color: #333;
position: sticky;
top: 0;
min-height: 45px;
}
Since you are using the float property in navigation items, it may cause trouble
