Hi guys, I found this really interesting navigation bar that highlights where you are in the page even if you are not touching an specific div? Could you guys tell me how this could be done? Or what would be the name of the plug in?
This is the website:

Without spending a little more time inspecting the code I'd say that skel.js (http://skeljs.org/) might have something to do with it. Looks like the panels plugin is what might do what you want. At least I know the site you referenced is using it.

5,974 PointsThanks Ron, wanted to build it from scratch so your first two lines help and I can take it from there .
Can you tell me about the uses of the skel.js framework?

7,837 PointsDont' really know. I just saw they were using it and googled it which took me to the link I posted in the last response.
Looks like its a JavaScript plugin for building responsive sites. CSS Grid System, Responsive Handler, CSS Shortcuts, Plugin System (includes Panels).
Panels: Adds slick, smart, easy to customize sliding panels and viewport overlays. (from their website)
