About This Page
This header showcases a few main aspects of our bar styling options—but certainly not all!
First, we have a transparent, "absolute" bar overhanging everything. That bar is the one that houses this off canvas area.
Next, we have our "full-height" bar that is actually using a little bit of CSS magic to offset the height of the bar below it (notice how that bar is always positioned at the bottom of the screen). Additionally, notice how the text and buttons inside this bar respond to the sizing of the viewport all without the need for JavaScript.
Then, we have our last visible bar that houses our logo and navigation. This bar becomes sticky as you scroll down the screen, and also shrinks to a specified ratio of its original size. Notice how the links maintain their positioning and the logo scales automatically. Also, we've turned on our "content scrolling" for this bar, allowing its contents to be scrolled horizontally on smaller screens, a pattern we're seeing much more of on mobile devices these days.
Finally, as you scroll further down the page, you'll notice a final sticky bar slide in...from out of nowhere! This utilizes our "initially hidden" option, which allows you to bring in content further down a page as needed, perfect for the calls to action in our example.
This is only a sliver of what is possible with our new bar styling options available in our header builder. We've abstracted out a core set of useful features to achieve complex navigation layouts, and then our styling and JavaScript takes care of the rest intelligently. We look forward to seeing what you create with these new tools!
For a long time now Baba had stopped his lovers and mandali from touching his feet, and also from offering salutation with folded hands. Every man was aware of it and was obedient to his wishes. On August 18th,(1949) however, Ali Akbar (Aloba), who was sitting by Baba’s chair, silently and quickly touched Baba’s feet. No one noticed, but suddenly Baba became very grave. The mandali sat silent. Without expressing any displeasure, Baba gestured to Aloba to stand before him without moving. Baba got up from his chair, approached him and bent over to touch his feet. Aloba shrieked loudly and jumped into the air. To save him from falling on the stone flooring of the hall, some of the mandali leapt up to catch him. He landed on and injured Baba’s hand. Without drawing attention to his hand, Baba motioned to Aloba to be obedient and stand still. Finally, with Aloba sobbing, Baba touched his feet.
It was then discovered that Aloba’s full weight had fallen on the fingers of Baba’s right hand. Although first aid was administered on the spot and treatment was subsequently given by Nilu and Donkin, Baba had to carry his hand in a sling for several days. His fingers became swollen, and at nights he experienced throbbing pain. It became increasingly difficult for Baba to “speak” through the alphabet board, because it was difficult for him to move his fingers, and only by painful efforts was he able to sign documents.
But later that same day, Baba pardoned Aloba, urging him to forget the incident and not to blame himself for his reaction. Addressing Aloba, he stated, “Carrying out my orders was the all-important thing. Compared to that there was no importance at all to my falling at your feet.
