Quick Answer Sticky header: on scroll, check if the page scrolled past the header: $(window).on("scroll", function() { if ($(this).scrollTop() > headerHeight) { $("header").addClass("sticky"); } else { $("header").removeClass("sticky"); } }). The "sticky" class applies fixed positioning via CSS. Use throttle on the scroll handler to avoid firing too often.
