To make a section in Webflow stop at the top of the screen when scrolling, you can use the "sticky" position property in CSS. Here's how you can achieve this effect:
- Select the section you want to make sticky by clicking on it in the Webflow Designer.
- In the Style panel, click on the "+" icon in the Position section to add a new position property.
- Choose "Sticky" from the dropdown menu.
- Adjust the top, right, bottom, and left values as needed to position the sticky section correctly.
- Customize the appearance of the sticky section by modifying its styling attributes like background color, typography, or padding.
By making a section sticky, it will remain fixed at the top of the screen as the user scrolls down the page. This is a great technique to create navigation bars, headers, or any other element that you want to stay visible at all times.
Additional tips:
- Make sure the section you want to make sticky is not nested within any other elements with overflow set to "hidden". Otherwise, the sticky effect may not work as expected.
- If needed, you can control the scroll behavior and appearance of the sticky section by using custom CSS or Webflow's interactions and animations features.
- Test your design on different screen sizes to ensure that the sticky section remains usable and visually appealing across devices.
By following these steps, you'll be able to create a section in Webflow that stops at the top of the screen when scrolling, improving user experience and making important information always accessible.
Example code:
.sticky-section { position: sticky; top: 0; /* Additional custom styles */ background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; padding: 20px;}
