Change element's position via animation in ReactJS - javascript

I am trying to change the position of my slip element via animation transition whenever a user scrolls to the bottom of the page. The problem that I'm having is that I don't know how to switch the positioning from flex to relative. The slip element needs to be positioned above the footer.
I've managed to achieve this with only switching classes but I don't like the jerking animation so I wanted to add some transition but now I don't know how to make it stick above the footer.
How do I make the slip element stick on top of the footer and not be fixed when a user scrolls to the bottom of the page? The goal is to achieve this with a smooth transition/animation.
Here is my stackblitz example of the problem.

This isn't really a ReactJS question, it's more of a question about HTML and CSS styling.
I would get the position of the footer: footer.offsetTop, and then I could get the user's scroll position: window.scrollY and the window height: window.innerHeight. Using all of these values, I would determine if the user has scrolled to the point where the footer is visible, and if so, make the slip element have an absolute position where the bottom is set to the footer.offsetTop
That should, in theory, work.
I actually found a stack overflow question just for determining if an element is scrolled into view: How to check if element is visible after scrolling? so that should help some.

Improving scroll effect with one side scroll and the other change image based on scroll position

I created this scroll effect, where div is divided into left and right side - left side contains of images, that change based on scroll position and it's fixed and right side is scrolling content.
This is my idea:
https://codesandbox.io/s/scroll-effect-forked-ssi3x?file=/src/index.css
To describe the sandbox - you can see that my scroll effect works, but right div scrolls only when mouse is on that right div, what I need is that content of that right div will scroll down also when mouse is on left div
I tried to make the whole container's position fixed so it doesn't move, but it did not work. Is there a way how to achieve it?
Here is example of what I would like it to be like:
(starts with STEP 1)

To achieve your goal in React, you need a combination of some CSS and the JS scroll event. First, assign position: sticky to the element you need to be fixed when it's about to leave the viewport. Then, using a React ref, you access the scroll position of the scrollable div and use that logic to set your image source (you should avoid accessing the DOM directly with getElementById in React).
Here's a working codesandbox example
You could do this basically with only CSS. You could make the right (scrollable) side overlap the left side with position: absolute. Then the whole area is scrollable. After that you'd change the width of the inner element to 60% and you'd visually have the same output as before. I changed your codesandbox accordingly: https://codesandbox.io/s/scroll-effect-forked-55qsf
The only downside is, that the left side is not clickable, scrollable etc. anymore. If you want to keep HTML & CSS like before, you'd have to capture the scroll-event and run some JavaScript code.

Detect HTML and CSS for a DIV and change to make it scroll with a sibling DIV

I am building a Google Chrome extension and one of the features it does is generate a full page length screenshot by snapping a screenshot image of the viewport then scrolling down the page and repeating the process until it has an image of the whole page length and stitches them together as 1 image using HTML5 Canvas.
Page elements that are position: fixed get changed to position: absolute so that it doesn't show the fixed element in each viewport image in the final image repeated over and over!
Now I have a page for example that gives a new challenge.
https://docs.hhvm.com/hhvm/installation/linux#ubuntu-15.10-wily-werewolf
Based on the image below...
1) the top header bar is fixed so it changes to position: absolute
2) the main page right scrollbar scrolls the main right content panel down the page.
3) the left sidebar has a separate scrollbar for it's DIV.
When my extension makes a screenshot on this page, it ends up repeating the left sidebar contents over and over all the way down the page since the right scrollbar goes much furthor down the page.
I think the solution is to somehow detect and make the left sidebar in these cases be positioned so that it does not have a scrollbar and instead will show all the left sidebar content as the right content DIV is scrolled down.
I am just not sure about how to do that left sidebar part at the moment, any suggestions? I would need to detect this situation on other pages automatically as well!
CSS overflow is what you are looking for, I guess.
Try setting overflow: visible to that sidebar. Now the "auto" value is likely to stand there.
What about detecting... You can check the scrollHeight of the element and get its height, for instance sidebar.scrollHeight > sidebar.offsetHeight. If it's true, it means it is scrollable.

hide with window scroll not container scroll

I've a tricky problem. So I have two fixed element with space in between under those two elements I have a relative positioned element, everything is ok so far. Now when I scroll the relative positioned element will scroll and appear in between the two fixed elements and on top of the first one, here is the jsfiddle to make it clearer. I'd like the relative positioned content not to appear when scroll, like if it was a box scrolling with an overflow hidden.
The goal is to do a kind of box scrolling but with a window scrolling.
I'd like a css solution but I'm also opened to any js solution.
What about this?

fixed has a background
you can also add padding to body if you don't want to set a background to fixed
Could make a zindexed div with a background set to the same color as the page bg, put that over the relative positioned div and under the absolutes so when the relative div scrolls to that point of the page it appears to dissapear how I believe you want it to, or just use overflow hidden and absolute positioning to lock it into place and clip the content.

How to hide the scrollbar while keeping functionality in a skewed div

I am trying to create a skewed div with scrolling content inside of it.
You can take a look at my code here:
http://jsfiddle.net/kDv45/1/
Originally I had it hidden by placing the content inside of a smaller div, but the skewing made the scrollbar visible again.
If I set the css overflow as hidden, it hides the scrollbar but it is no longer able to scroll. Can you guys think of a workaround for this problem?
I suggest you to use overflow : hidden on both x and y. And use JavaScript events for scrolling.

Javascript or Jquery: Scroll to Fixed position div

I want a html div which will scroll when user scroll down the page and it will get to fixed position when it's parent tag ends. For example:- See this link http://www.9gag.com/ they have alot to posts on one page. When we scroll one post and go to end of the first post, the title and share buttons become to fixed position and then the second post do the same and same for the next posts. Just exactly like that. How can we do this in Jquery or raw javascript or in css.
Maybe you want to try this plugin: http://labs.anthonygarand.com/sticky/ Sticky is a jQuery plugin that gives you the ability to
make any element on your page always stay visible by making the element to be floated when they has reached the limit.
$(window).scrollTop() will give you the number of pixels scrolled down in the browser, $('postcontainer').offset() will give you the x,y positions of a post container.
So if you bind an event to $(window).scroll() or to the mousescroll, you can check if the postcontainer's offset().top is less than the window.scrollTop. If it is then you start moving the item down relative to the post container. When doing this you need to keep track of the post container's height and the moving element's height to make sure it doesn't go down past the bottom of the container.
So if postcontainer.height - movingelement.position().top >= movingelement.height() then you need to fix the position of the moving element. Do the opposite while scrolling back up.
Hopefully this will get you thinking and starting to kick out some code.
This is the solution for your problem with a simple css property.
use position:sticky to follows the scroll.
