What is Sticky Header.

The Stcky header will stuck on the top. When you reach its scroll position.

 

Step 1 : Add Html code and create id so that we can write the code of sticky header with the help of this ID.

eg : 

<div class="top-container">
  <h1>Scroll Down</h1>
  <p>Scroll down to see the sticky header effect.</p>
</div>

<!-- here i am creating a header with ID -->
<div class="header" id="myStickyHeader">
  <h2>Sticky Header</h2>
</div>


<!-- Here i am adding content in the div -->
<div class="content">
  <h3>On Scroll Sticky Header</h3>

While Lorem Ipsum text is mostly gibberish, the standard passage (“Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet…”) actually contains some coherent Latin excerpts, which appear to have been extracted and randomised from Cicero's ‘De finibus bonorum et malorum’, authored in 45 BC.</p>

Step 2 : Create CSS in <head> tag.

<style>

.top-container {
  padding: 20px;
  text-align: center;
  background-color: #f1f1f1;
}

.content {
  padding: 16px;
}

.header {
  background: #228dcc;
  color: #f1f1f1;
  padding: 5px 16px;
}

.sticky {
  position: fixed;
  top: 0;
  width: 100%;
}

</style>

 

Step 3 :  Add JavaScript code for sticky header.

eg : 

<script>
window.onscroll = function() 
{
    myStickyHeader()
};

var header = document.getElementById("myStickyHeader");
var sticky = header.offsetTop;

function myStickyHeader() 
{
  if (window.pageYOffset > sticky) 
  {
    header.classList.add("sticky");
  } 
  else {
    header.classList.remove("sticky");
  }
}
</script>

 

What is onscroll event.

Execute the JavaScript code when you scroll the page.
