CSS - Sticky Positioning

Sticky Positioning in CSS

Sticky positioning is like a blend of fixed positioning. The element behaves as if it is relatively positioned until it reaches a point after which it acts as if it is fixed in place.

Code Sample:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <style>
        .sticky-box {
            position: sticky;
            top: 0;
            width: 100%;
            background-color: lightpink;
            padding: 10px;
            border: 1px solid black;
        }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <div class="sticky-box">This box will stick to the top of the page when you scroll.</div>
    <p style="height: 3000px;">Keep scrolling...</p>
</body>
</html>
