scroll-padding-top

The scroll-padding-top property defines offsets for the top of the optimal viewing region of the scrollport: the region used as the target region for placing things in view of the user. This allows the author to exclude regions of the scrollport that are obscured by other content (such as fixed-positioned toolbars or sidebars) or simply to put more breathing room between a targetted element and the edges of the scrollport.

Syntax

scroll-padding-top: auto;

scroll-padding-top: 10px;
scroll-padding-top: 1em;
scroll-padding-top: 10%;

The offset is determind by the user agent. This will generally be 0px, but a user agent is able to detect and do something else if a non-zero value is more appropriate.
