Hide an element in HTML and CSS

Question

Is there any chance that someone has a solution for this problem, If you look at my Codepen link there will be a text "Johnny" that I want to hide behind the dark grey div. Is there by any chance a simple solution for this? Thanks!

Could you include also the relevant parts of the `main.css` file? — Roberto Caboni, Jul 07 '20 at 17:55

z-index won't work without explicit positioning. Set position: relative on .first_div and .second_div to make your current code work as expected.

Explicitly define position: relative on .first_div AND .second_div and then Set z-index:10 on nav

window.onscroll = function() {scrollNav()};

var navbar = document.getElementById("navbar");

function scrollNav() {
  if (window.pageYOffset >= 1) {
    navbar.classList.add("sticky")
  } else {
    navbar.classList.remove("sticky");
  }
}

html, body{
    margin: 0;
    background-color: whitesmoke;
}

nav{
    overflow: hidden;
    background-color: none;
    transition: all ease-in-out .2s;
    height: 75px;

    position: fixed;
    top: 0;
    width: 100%;

    line-height: 75px;

    padding-left: 10%;
    z-index:10;

nav h1{
    display: inline;

    user-select: none;

    margin-right: 20%;

nav ul{

im not sure about whether its what you wanted, but you can try to replace you css code with

    html, body{
    margin: 0;
    background-color: whitesmoke;
}

    nav{
    overflow: hidden;
    background-color: none;
    transition: all ease-in-out .2s;
    height: 75px;

    position: fixed;
    top: 0;
    width: 100%;

    line-height: 75px;

    padding-left: 10%;
  z-index: 10;
}

nav h1{
    display: inline;

    user-select: none;
    -moz-user-select: none;
    -ms-user-select: none;
    -webkit-user-select: none;
    -moz-user-select: none;

    margin-right: 20%;
}

nav ul{
    display: inline;
    padding-left: 0;
}

nav li{
    display: inline;
    text-align: center;
    padding: 0px 2.5%;
    text-decoration: none;
    font-size: 17px;
}

nav a{
    padding: 14px 16px;
    text-decoration: none;
    font-size: 17px;
    transition: all ease-in-out .2s;
    color: #212121;
}

.sticky {
    background-color: white;
}


.first_div{
    background: url(../img/wide_mount.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed; 
    -webkit-background-size: 75% auto;
    -moz-background-size: 75% auto;
    -o-background-size: 75% auto;
    background-size: 75% auto;

    height: 95vh;
    width: 100%;

    z-index: 2;

}

.first_div h1{
    color: rgb(199, 132, 45);
    font-family: 'Playfair Display', serif;
    letter-spacing: 10vw;

    margin: 0;
    position: fixed;
    top: 60%;
    left: 50%;
    transform: translate(-50%, -50%);

    font-size: 128px;
    word-break: break-all;

    user-select: none;
    -moz-user-select: none;
    -ms-user-select: none;
    -webkit-user-select: none;
    -moz-user-select: none;

    z-index: 2;


}

.first_div h1::selection{
    color: white;
    background-color: rgb(199, 132, 45);
}

.second_div{
    position: absolute;
    height: 2000px;
    background-color: #212121;
    padding: 0;
    margin: 0;
  width: 100%;

    z-index: 4;

}

.second_div h1{
    margin: 0;
}
