I try to make sure that a div "filter" becomes fixed when scrolling and then stop when it comes down to "outside_footer_wrapper". use the following script but can not get it to work?
jsfiddle
$(function() {
var top = $('#filter').offset().top - parseFloat($('#filter').css('marginTop').replace(/auto/, 0));
var footTop = $('#outside_footer_wrapper').offset().top - parseFloat($('#outside_footer_wrapper').css('marginTop').replace(/auto/, 0));
var maxY = footTop - $('#filter').outerHeight();
$(window).scroll(function(evt) {
var y = $(this).scrollTop();
if (y > top) {
if (y < maxY) {
$('#filter').addClass('fixed').removeAttr('style');
} else {
$('#filter').removeClass('fixed').css({
position: 'absolute',
top: (maxY - top) + 'px'
});
}
} else {
$('#filter').removeClass('fixed');
}
});
});
If you want to stop the position:fixed
after you reach the footer you can do something like this faking with the top
:
$(function() {
var top = $('#filter').offset().top,
footTop = $('#outside_footer_wrapper').offset().top,
maxY = footTop - $('#filter').outerHeight();
$(window).scroll(function(evt) {
var y = $(this).scrollTop();
if (y > top) {
$('#filter').addClass('fixed').removeAttr('style');
if (y > maxY-20){
var min = y - maxY + 20;
$('#filter').css('top','-'+min+'px');
}
} else {
$('#filter').removeClass('fixed');
}
});
});
Also take in care with the CSS for the class fixed
you need to make that with equal specificity of #filter I made this change:
#sidebar #filter.fixed /*Add #sidebar*/
Check This Demo Fiddle
if you know at which pixel number the filter have to be fixed and at which pixel number the footer starts you can try this function:
scrollTop
Is it something like this?
jsfiddle
// get box div position
var box = document.getElementById('box').offsetTop;
window.onscroll = function(){
// get current scroll position
var scroll_top = document.body.scrollTop || document.documentElement.scrollTop;
document.getElementById('scbox').innerText = scroll_top + ' ' + box;
// if current scroll position >= box div position then box position fixed
if(scroll_top >= box)
document.getElementById('box').style.position = 'fixed';
else
document.getElementById('box').style.position = 'relative';
}
try this:
#sidebar {
position: fixed;
}
