8
points
In this short article, we would like to show how to use both sticky positionings for the header and footer of elements with pure CSS.
Note: to see better description how sticky works and how to use
toppositioning read this article.
Example solution:
// ONLINE-RUNNER:browser;
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
body {
max-height: 300px;
}
div.header {
position: -webkit-sticky; /* <----- required (for WebKit) */
position: sticky; /* <------------- required */
top: 10px; /* <-------------------- required */
border: 1px solid red;
background: silver;
}
div.content {
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;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>Some text here...</p>
<div>
<div class="header">Header 1</div>
<div class="content">
Some text here...<br />
Some text here...<br />
Some text here...<br />
Some text here...<br />
</div>
<div class="footer">Footer 1</div>
</div>
<p>Some text here...</p>
<p>Some text here...</p>
<p>Some text here...</p>
</body>
</html>
Many items example
In this section, we want to show how to use sticky with multiple items. It is good to add additional margins to the previous example to not let footers cover headers.
// ONLINE-RUNNER:browser;
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<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;
height: 30px;
line-height: 30px;
}
</style>
