I'm looking for a Javascript/jQuery plugin for sticky header that will not switch the element's style to position fixed. Usually, I'm working with this one http://stickyjs.com/ and it works fine.
I'm working on a website with jQuery animation and one of my div has a sticky header with width:100%. But when I move it to the left (for example), the width:100% is now based on the window's width and not his container.
So, is there an existing plugin that does the same thing as the others but keep the position: relative and calculate the scrollTop to apply as the margin-top for my sticky header?
So, I solved my problem! Here's my javascript code:
You have to set top:0px as default
function relative_sticky(id, topSpacing){
if(!topSpacing){ var topSpacing = 0; }
var el_top = parseFloat(document.getElementById(id).getBoundingClientRect().top);
el_top = el_top - parseFloat(document.getElementById(id).style.top);
el_top = el_top * (-1);
el_top = el_top + topSpacing;
if(el_top > 0){
document.getElementById(id).style.top = el_top + "px";
} else{
document.getElementById(id).style.top = "0px";
}
}
window.onscroll = function(){
relative_sticky("your_element_id", 10);
}
It's not very smooth in IE, so I add a delay:
var delay = (function(){
var timer = 0;
return function(callback, ms){
clearTimeout (timer);
timer = setTimeout(callback, ms);
};
})();
window.onscroll = function(){
if(BrowserDetect.browser == "Explorer" || BrowserDetect.browser == "Mozilla"){
// or your own way to detect browser
delay(function(){
relative_sticky("admin_users_head", 31);
}, 200);
}
else{
relative_sticky("admin_users_head", 31);
}
}
