I have a 2 column layout. The left column is way longer than the sidebar. I want the sidebar only to stick when its bottom reaches the bottom of the browser window. So the user can continue to scroll down the left column content while the right sidebar sticks. I've seen a lot of sticky questions here, however this particular situation still stumps me. I also have a sticking headline bar on the left column that i've successfully gotten to stick.
Here's a demo of what I've done in jsfiddle!
and here's a quick look at the js I am trying out.
$(function(){
var headlineBarPos = $('.headlineBar').offset().top; // returns number
var sidebarHeight = $('.sticky-sidebar-wrap').height();
var sidebarTop = $('.sticky-sidebar-wrap').offset().top;
var windowHeight = $(window).height();
var totalHeight = sidebarHeight + sidebarTop;
$(window).scroll(function(){ // scroll event
var windowTop = $(window).scrollTop(); // returns number
// fixing the headline bar
if (headlineBarPos < windowTop) {
$('.headlineBar').addClass('sticky').css('top', '0');
}
else {
$('.headlineBar').removeClass('sticky').removeAttr('style');
}
if(sidebarHeight < windowTop) {
$('.sticky-sidebar-wrap').addClass('sticky').css('top', '0');
} else {
$('.sticky-sidebar-wrap').removeClass('sticky').removeAttr('style');
}
console.log(windowTop);
});
console.log(headlineBarPos);
console.log(sidebarHeight);
console.log(sidebarTop);
});
