Note for — since this thread ends with the issue resolved, the following concise checklist captures the most common, long-lived causes of nav-bar positioning problems and quick remedies that remain relevant.

Common causes and quick checks: missing DOCTYPE (quirks mode changes layout); browser default margins on html/body (reset with html, body { margin: 0; }); floats collapsing container height (use a clearfix or display: flow-root); absolutely positioned elements are positioned relative to the nearest ancestor with a non-static position; transformed or certain positioned ancestors create new stacking contexts that change how z-index works; overflow on a parent can clip positioned children. Use the browser inspector to examine computed position, top/left, z-index, and the box model to pinpoint which rule is taking effect.

Small, practical patterns that often fix problems:

nav {
  position: fixed;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  right: 0;
  z-index: 1000;
  height: 56px;
}
body { padding-top: 56px; }
.clearfix::after {
  content: "";
  display: table;
  clear: both;
}

For authoritative reference on the underlying behavior, see MDN on CSS positioning (position) and stacking contexts (Understanding z-index), and a concise clearfix pattern at CSS-Tricks.
