This is how i did it with jquery. This was all cobbled together from various answers on stack overflow. This solution caches the selectors for faster performance and also solves the "jumping" issue when the sticky div becomes sticky.
Check it out on jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/HQS8s/
CSS:
.stick {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
}
JS:
$(document).ready(function() {
// Cache selectors for faster performance.
var $window = $(window),
$mainMenuBar = $('#mainMenuBar'),
$mainMenuBarAnchor = $('#mainMenuBarAnchor');
// Run this on scroll events.
$window.scroll(function() {
var window_top = $window.scrollTop();
var div_top = $mainMenuBarAnchor.offset().top;
if (window_top > div_top) {
// Make the div sticky.
$mainMenuBar.addClass('stick');
$mainMenuBarAnchor.height($mainMenuBar.height());
}
else {
// Unstick the div.
$mainMenuBar.removeClass('stick');
$mainMenuBarAnchor.height(0);
}
});
});
