Hi Guys,

I am designing a website where I want to header to always be at the top, even when scrolling. So I tried the obvious things like:  

 position: fixed;

and  

  position: sticky;

and I got the code running, that part is ok, but it does not do what I expected. 

Best way to describe what I want is to have a look. If you go to https://www.theritzlondon.com/ and notice on their home page that the header always remains there, even if you scroll right down to the end. That's what I want, but the above didn't do it.

Here are 4 screen shots to visually describe how my site reacts to position: fixed;

The first screen shot shows when the page first loads and the following are taken as you scroll down the page

I even tried out this tutorial but to no avail : https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_js_sticky_header.asp

Here is my HTML: 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Hotel London</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css">
    <link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com">
<link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.gstatic.com" crossorigin>
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Cormorant+Garamond:wght@500&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">

</head>
<body>


<header>

</header>


<div class="hero-image">
  <div class="hero-text">
    <h1>London's finest new luxury Hotel</h1>
    <p>Over looking Hyde Park</p>
  </div>
</div>


 <div class="grid-container">
  <div>
      <h2>WELCOME TO THE LONDON HOTEL </h2>
    <p>We are London’s most iconic hotel. A five star haven in Knightsbridge that is famous the world over for its historic elegance, impeccable service, impressive suites, and legendary Afternoon Tea</p> </div>
