How to fix a header on scroll

by

You need some JS to do scroll events. The best way to do this is to set a new CSS class for the fixed position that will get assigned to the relevant div when scrolling goes past a certain point.

HTML

<div class="sticky"></div>

CSS

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

jQuery

$(window).scroll(function(){
  var sticky = $('.sticky'),
      scroll = $(window).scrollTop();

  if (scroll >= 100) sticky.addClass('fixed');
  else sticky.removeClass('fixed');
});

EDIT: Extended example

If the trigger point is unknown but should be whenever the sticky element reaches the top of the screen, offset().top can be used.

var stickyOffset = $('.sticky').offset().top;

$(window).scroll(function(){
  var sticky = $('.sticky'),
      scroll = $(window).scrollTop();

  if (scroll >= stickyOffset) sticky.addClass('fixed');
  else sticky.removeClass('fixed');
});
