Sticky Position
- Hybrid between Relative and Fixed positioning.
- Element starts as relative positioned until a threshold
(such s a top or bottom assignment) is met.
- One the threshold is met, it becomes a fixed element,
which is fixed to the viewport at the specified location.
- Sticky will switch back and forth between Fixed and
Relative based on the scroll position.
- You must specify Top, Bottom, Left or Right for
Sticky Positioning to work.
When to use
- Headers that scroll with content then stay fixed at top.
- Sidebar ads/info panels moving with scroll, remaining visible.
- Long content pages, retaining elements in user focus during scroll.
Important Rules
- Sticky elements may overlap, use with care.
- Don't forget to set the threshold (eg. top: 10px;).
- May not work on older browsers, so provide a
fallback positioning for unsupported browsers..
