In this tutorial you'll learn a quick tip to make a header stick to it's containing element as you scroll down the page using just CSS.

There's no trickery involved, just one simple value with the CSS position property. All you need to do, is set this value to 'sticky' and create a separate CSS value of top to apply the CSS sticky positioning to top of the containing element (for a header, this is the most likely value).

There are of course issues with browser support for sticky headers. In-fact the support for Internet Explorer is non-existent and all the major browsers have at least some issues with support. Therefore you shouldn't rely on using this technique as a feature for your website as you can't guarantee that everyone visiting your site will be able to see it.

You can of course create a more widely supported CSS sticky header with JavaScript but this no JavaScript sticky header solution is pretty simple whereas the JavaScript version require a bit more effort in terms of coding the calculation of where the header is currently with respect to the rest of the page and whether or not it should be moved on scroll.
