Achieved anchoring an object to the top of the page while scrolling

Question

Achieved anchoring an object to the top of the page while scrolling

Recently, I've been working on a piece of code to keep my div fixed at the top of the page while scrolling. However, it doesn't seem to be functioning as intended.

Would anyone be able to point out where I might have gone wrong?

The element in question is located within a <div class='container'> and a div row.

<div id="compareDiv">
    <a id="compare" href="#animatedModal" disabled class="compare-products">Compare Domestic</a>
</div>

<script>
$(window).scroll(fixDiv);
function fixDiv() {
var $div = $("#compareDiv");
if ($(window).scrollTop() > $div.data("top")) { 
$('#compareDiv').css({'position': 'fixed', 'top': '0', 'width': '100%'}); 
}
else {
$('#compareDiv').css({'position': 'static', 'top': 'auto', 'width': '100%'});  
} 
$("#compareDiv").data("top", $("#compareDiv").offset().top); // set original position on load

UPDATE

It turned out that the element was hidden behind another object. Adjusting the z-index resolved the issue.

Thank you for your assistance.

Answer 1

Answer №1

When handling this particular case, it is crucial to remember two key points:

Avoid the temptation to compare a moving <div> for reference and set the CSS.
Utilize JavaScript solely for adding or removing classes, leaving the positioning to be set by CSS.

One effective approach would involve:

$(function () {
  $(window).scroll(function () {
    if ($(window).scrollTop() > $("nav").position().top)
      $("nav").addClass("fixed");
    else
      $("nav").removeClass("fixed");
  });
});

nav ul,
nav ul li {
  display: block;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none;
  text-align: center;
}
nav ul li {
  display: inline-block;
}
nav ul li a {
  text-decoration: none;
  padding: 5px;
  display: block;
  border: 1px solid #ccc;
  border-radius: 5px;
  color: #000;
}
nav.fixed {
  margin-bottom: 50px;
}
nav.fixed ul {
  position: fixed;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  right: 0;
  background-color: #fff;
  z-index: 9;
  border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;
  padding: 10px;
}
