I want a scrolling menu that begins at a certain part of the page (like under the header), but stays there till you scroll down and it hits the top of your browser window, then follows you down the rest of the page.
Anyone have any clue how to do this? I can't find it anywhere on the net. I've seen others similar to it, but none that move to the top of the window.
There's a great example on gmail when you are viewing an email. The toolbar stays at the top of the email box, but once you scroll past the email box, it follows you down the page.
I know that position:absolute;top:0; will make it stay at the top without the fluid motion (I hate it because it looks sloppy).
** edit **
I really only need to know how to detect that the menu div is at the top of your page. I can do a mock thing where if you scroll down how ever far the menu div is, it will start scrolling down, but I'd rather actually get whether the menu div is past the browser window or not.
It's a mixed position of fixed and absolute, you will handle.scroll event and switch between that.
You can find an example here

This is for a Chrome Extension I'm working on.
The scrollbar isn't coded into the HTML/CSS/Javascript anywhere in its present form. When enough elements get added to the Extension memory, and a button is clicked to reveal a user's saved items, the default browser scrollbar simply appears there.
When it does appear, it pushes all previously visible content left, shifting it all from its previous position, and it's pretty visually clunky and unattractive.
How could I instead make this scrollbar appear to the right of the pop-up div container -- with everything inside of there remaining in their original position?
Thanks!
There are some topics discussing this but none of them could fit my needs.
I have created a page for horizontal scrolling. It works fine. When the user scrolls down, the content scrolls horizontal. Just two elements, one is turned to the side, the other one turns back the content. fine.
But now the problem is, if the user is clever and thinks "oh its horizontal content, so i have to scroll horizontally" (on notebook pad). It doesnt work, it does nothing. The user doesn't know that its a div turned sideways.
So, Is there a Javascript possibility to tell my div "If users (try to) scroll horizontal, just scroll vertical."
Thanks
Here is what I am trying to do: When the user is clicking a button, a transparent overlay is opening. The background shouldn't be scrollable but stay at the scroll position. So what I am doing at the moment is that once the button is clicked, I safe the current scroll position via window.scrollY, then add overflow: hidden to both the html and body tag (which unfortunately scrolls the page to the very top), then proceed to scroll to the saved position inside the main div of the website. In most browsers these steps aren't noticeable so it seems like everything just stays at the same position. In Safari however, you can see that for a few ms the background scrolls to the very top and then back again.
So what I would like to know is how to execute multiple methods at once before the DOM updates. Or maybe you can think of another way of doing this?
Thank you!
I have seen several questions about floating or fixed sidebars on Stackoverflow, but I could find none that covers this scenario.
Take a look at this page as an example: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa691131(v=vs.71).aspx
When the page is scrolled up, the sidebar also scrolls up with it, until its top edge hits the top of the window. As the scrolling continues, the side bar stays fixed in its place until the page footer reaches up and pushes the sidebar up with itself.
Therefore, the sidebar is always trapped between the page header and the page footer, but within that limitation, it tries to stay visible as much as possible.
This is done by using javascript. I was wondering if you guys have already achieved something like this, or if you know of a solution, that you can share here.
Thank you.
This is a great tutorial on how to acheive this effect through jQuery... http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/css-sticky-position/
It uses jQuery .addClass() to add a class to the element when a certain scroll position is reached.
And the respective .removeClass() when the user scrolls back past.
Here is what I am thinking:
I have long web page and when the user reaches the end, I don't want the scrolling to stop just then, but I want to reload the page again from the bottom and continue the scrolling.
Detailed
As the user scrolls to the bottom, I want the top of the website to be removed from the top and placed at the bottom in a smooth way and this effect has be vice versa also. I mean if user scrolls up at the top of the page, then the footer must load at the top and continue in this fashion.
Yes, Infinite Scroll can do this. There is also a jQuery plugin.
Now whether you should do this... that's an entirely different question. Personally I find this behaviour extremely annoying.
