Fixing
Using the fixed-top
and fixed-bottom
helper classes, elements can be fixed to the top or bottom of the page respectively. This is achieved by setting the position
property to fixed

, right
, and top
(or bottom
 in the case of fixed-bottom), and increasing the z-index
to ensure that the element appears in front of all the other elements on the page. Looking at the Bootstrap style sheet, we see that fixed-top
and fixed-bottom
are defined as follows:
.fixed-top { position: fixed; top: 0; right: 0; left: 0; z-index: 1030; } .fixed-bottom { position: fixed; right: 0; bottom: 0; left: 0; z-index: 1030; }
The sticky-top
class is similar to fixed-top, with the exception that the element only gets positioned to the top of the page after the user scrolls past the element. The helper class achieves this by doing the following:
- Setting the
position
property tosticky
