I have a side menu on my site that i would like always visible.
To accomplish this, I am using the following code sample from this page:
http://camwebdesign.com/demos/jquery-scrolling-element.html
The problem is that unlike the sample my site has a huge 1000px height footer. When the user scrolls the content over the footer div, the side menu overlaps it. Is there a way to modify the Jquery code where it has a boundry of 1000px on the bottom to prevent this?
Thanks!
<html>
<title>Keep element in view while scrolling using JQuery</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js?ver=CDN"></script>
<script>
$().ready(function() {
var $scrollingDiv = $("#scrollingDiv");
$(window).scroll(function(){
$scrollingDiv
.stop()
.animate({"marginTop": ($(window).scrollTop() + 30) + "px"}, "slow" );
});
});
</script>
<div style="float: left; width: 70%">
<h1>Keep element in view while scrolling using JQuery</h1>
<div id="scrollingDiv" style="position: absolute; top: 32px; right: 16px; width: 21%; padding: 0% 2% 2% 2%; border: 2px solid red; background-color: #ffeaea;">
<h2>Scrolling Element</h2>
Scroll down/up to see me smoothly reposition myself and keep in view.<br /><br />

<div id="footer" style="width:100%; height:1000px; background:#333; color:#FFF;" >
