Why do designers think a bar over the content at the top of a webpage is a good thing? There are a lot you types around here, maybe this question can be answered.
I use (used to use, anyway. Before everyone decided to mount a bar at the top) space or page-down to read stuff online. When there's a bar riding above the content I can't use space anymore. I have to use space and then my arrow keys because the visible portion doesn't match what the browser thinks of the page, so it ends up doing a full-size page down, which means the bar covers text I haven't read yet. :(
- mbrubeck 13y agoChrome and Firefox both correct for fixed-position headers to make pageup/pagedn/space work correctly in pages like this one.

- zevyoura 13y agoChrome does not compensate properly on the linked page. Firefox does. I've written a short article about the issues with this implementation of fixed headers here: http://gist.io/4950242 http://gist.io/4950242
