How to usethe ‘sticky’ Class in CSS

Approach 1: Using a ‘fixed’ class

In this approach, we will use the ‘sticky’ class to fix the navbar. When an element has a sticky position, it behaves as ‘relative’ until it reaches a specific scroll position, after which it becomes ‘fixed’. It then remains fixed until the user scrolls past a specified element or position.

Tailwind CSS Used Classes

sticky: This class is used to create an element with a “sticky” position. When an element has a sticky position, it behaves as relative until it reaches a specific scroll position, after which it becomes fixed.

Syntax:

<nav class="sticky top-0">
    . . .
</nav>
