scrolling div fixed until footer


Hi I'm hoping somebody can help me out i've been looking up a lot of tutorials to see if this could be done easily I'm new to jQuery, I'm trying to scroll a fixed div down the page but the div is moving into the footer when it reaches the bottom. Im thinking in the jquery to add something like a scroll control and then when it reached a certain amount of pixels down the page to change the positioning with .css in the jquery. I'm not to sure how to go about it properly though. I've made a VERY simplified version in jsfiddle to kind of illustrate what i'm trying to do, any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Solution

  • Here's the jQuery which should help. Just make a css class that changes the box how you want it.

    $(document).on('scroll', function(){
        var scroller = $('#scroller');
        var footer = $('#footer');
        var scroll_bot = scroller.offset().top + scroller.height();
        var footer_top = footer.offset().top;
    
        alert(scroll_bot);
        if(scroll_bot > footer_top){
            scroller.addClass('classThatMakesBoxActRight');
        }else{
            scroller.removeClass('classThatMakesBoxActRight');
        }
    });
