Offset is a Bootstrap Scrollspy property wherein the user can specify the pixels to offset from top when calculating the position of scroll. It becomes useful when the user feels that either the navbar or the list changes the state early or when not needed while surfing. It is always a number and the default value is 10. The value can be changed through JavaScript or putting the data-offset value in the body tag.

Syntax:

  • Normal Declaration
    (body data-offset="")
  • JavaScript Declaration
    $(document).ready(function(){
      $('body').scrollspy({target: " ", offset: });
    });
    

Example 1: This example describes the bootstrap navbar where four sections have been used and the offset property is set at 60 using JavaScript.
