I have created and exact fiddle of my problem here for testing: http://jsfiddle.net/aVBUy/7/
The issue is, when I click on navbar items, I have a script which scrolls to the element id. And I am using scrollspy to highlight the nav elements when page is in correct position. However the scrollspy is only changing the active state when it hits the top of the browser/device. Because my navbar is fixed I need an offset applied to scrollspy to offset by 51px (navbar height).
I've tried everything and I can't get it to work. Please check my fiddle and see if you can find the where I'm going wrong, would help me so much.
Here's my minimised code…
HTML
<div class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-fixed-top">
<div class="navbar-inner">
<div class="container">
<a class="btn btn-navbar" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".nav-collapse">
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</a>
<a class="brand" href="#"><img src="img/logo.gif" alt="" /></a>
<div class="nav-collapse collapse">
<ul class="nav">
<li><a href="#welcome" data-scroll="#welcome">Welcome</a></li>
<li><a href="#about" data-scroll="#about">About</a></li>
<li><a href="#route" data-scroll="#route">The Route</a></li>
<li><a href="#bike" data-scroll="#bike">The Bike</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="container">
<div id="welcome" class="row-fluid">
<div class="span12">
<h3>Welcome</h3>
...

<div id="about" class="row-fluid">

CSS
body {
padding: 51px 0 0;
}
/* Override Bootstrap Responsive CSS fixed navbar */
@media (max-width: 979px) {
.navbar-fixed-top, .navbar-fixed-bottom {
position: fixed;
margin-left: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
}
}
body > .container {
padding: 0 15px;
}
SCRIPT
var offsetHeight = 51;
$('.nav-collapse').scrollspy({
offset: offsetHeight
});
$('.navbar li a').click(function (event) {
var scrollPos = $('body > .container').find($(this).attr('href')).offset().top - offsetHeight;
$('body,html').animate({
scrollTop: scrollPos
}, 500, function () {
$(".btn-navbar").click();
});
return false;
});

You need to apply the offset to the body.
Also, you will need to subtract at least one from the offsetHeight in the line below, otherwise it will not work when scrolling up.
