Sticky TIP: Make Your Navigation Sticky (Fixed to Top of Site on Scroll)

[⚡JFarrow⌁]

Ok, so I am working on a method to display latest activity module as sticky module to the top right of my site (open to suggestions).  But for now, I have a tip for you on how to make your navigation stick to the top of site on scroll.

Add this to CSS:

.JFsticky {
    position: fixed;
    width: 100%;
    left: 0;
    top: 0;
    z-index: 100;
    border-top: 0;
}

Add This to Custom Code (bottom):

<script type="text/javascript">

x$(document).ready(function() {
var stickyNavTop = x$('.navbar').offset().top;

var stickyNav = function(){
var scrollTop = x$(window).scrollTop();

if (scrollTop > stickyNavTop) {
    x$('.navbar').addClass('JFsticky');
} else {
    x$('.navbar').removeClass('JFsticky');
}
};

stickyNav();

x$(window).scroll(function() {
    stickyNav();
});
});
</script>

hmm..perhaps it is conflicting with some other CSS or scripts you already have..i'll take a look..

[⚡JFarrow⌁]

doesn't look like I can even scroll as the content is too short to scroll through.. but i'll look again..

Now it's working.  Must be a woman - took a while to make up her mind.  *LOL*  Than you for sharing JFarrow.

Hi, I love this idea as my current Main page is so long. I added your code but it doesn't seem to be working... any ideas?

Thx!

[⚡JFarrow⌁]

hard to tell without seeing it... perhaps something else you have in CSS is conflicting..

fwiw I realized that the tabs (being positioned left) were overlaying my green Admin. Toolbar so I removed the line that said "left 0;" and the tabs moved more center.  Just thought I'd mention it if other creators want that appearance as well.  Thanks again JF for sharing this.

Hello JFarrow. I love the script. Is this there anyway to add color behind the navigation that will remain (ex. the color behing the navigation will always be white rather than clear, or adapts to whatever color the page is)

Thanks, Henry

Hi Henry, are you looking to change the color dynamically or just looking for CSS code to change background of navigation?

[Henry Thomas]

Hi JFarrow, whichever one works best in keeping the navigation background a solid color (such as white) while scrolling. As of now, the background seems to be whatever the is on the page.

 

Thanks,

Henry
