<style>
body {
max-height: 300px;
}
div.header {
margin: 0 0 30px 0;
position: -webkit-sticky; /* <----- required (for WebKit) */
position: sticky; /* <------------- required */
top: 10px; /* <-------------------- required */
border: 1px solid red;
background: silver;
height: 30px;
line-height: 30px;
}
div.content {
margin: -30px 0 0 0;
border: 1px solid orange;
height: 1000px;
}
div.footer {
position: -webkit-sticky; /* <----- required (for WebKit) */
position: sticky; /* <------------- required */
bottom: 10px; /* <----------------- required */
border: 1px solid red;
background: silver;
