Sticky
Make elements remain at the top of the viewport, like a sticky navigation.
Usage
To create an element that remains at the top of the viewport when scrolling down the site, add the uk-sticky
attribute to that element.
<div uk-sticky></div>
- Stick to the top
-
<div class="uk-background-muted uk-height-large"> <div class="uk-card uk-card-body uk-card-default uk-position-z-index uk-text-center" uk-sticky="end: !.uk-height-large; offset: 80" > Stick to the top </div> </div>
Note Example elements on this page are only sticky until you scroll down to the next heading and disappear afterwards. This was done so as not to clutter your screen with all variations of sticky containers.
Position
By default, the element sticks to the top of the viewport. You can set the position: bottom
option to stick it to the bottom of the viewport.
<div uk-sticky="position: bottom"></div>
- Stick to the bottom
-
<div class="uk-background-muted uk-height-large"> <div class="uk-card uk-card-body uk-card-default uk-position-z-index uk-text-center" uk-sticky="position: bottom; end: !.uk-height-large" > Stick to the bottom </div> </div>
Start
To apply an offset to when the element should start being sticky, add the start
option. The value can be in vh, % and px. It supports basic mathematics operands + and -. The default value of 0
means that the element’s top border and viewport’s top border intersect. A CSS Selector will set start to the selected element’s bottom border and the element’s top border.
<!-- Sticks after 200px scrolling -->
<div uk-sticky="start: 200"></div>
<!-- Sticks after scrolling the elements height -->
<div uk-sticky="start: 100%"></div>
<!-- Sticks after 20vh scrolling -->
<div uk-sticky="start: 20vh"></div>
<!-- Sticks after the top of the selected element -->
<div id="my-id">
<div uk-sticky="start: #my-id"></div>
</div>

End
To apply an offset to when the element should stop being sticky, add the stop
option. The value can be in vh, % and px. It supports basic mathematics operands + and -. A value of 0
means that the element’s top border and viewport’s top border intersect, which would cause the element not to be sticky at all if start is also set to 0
. A CSS Selector will set the end to the selected element’s bottom border and the element’s bottom border. false
will make the element stick until the end of the page. true
selects the parent element.
<!-- Sticks until 200px scrolling -->
<div uk-sticky="end: 200"></div>
<!-- Sticks until scrolling the elements height -->
<div uk-sticky="end: 100%"></div>
<!-- Sticks until 20vh scrolling -->
<div uk-sticky="end: 20vh"></div>
<!-- Sticks until the bottom of the selected element -->
<div uk-sticky="end: #my-id"></div>
<div id="my-id"></div>
<!-- Sticks until the bottom of its parent container -->
<div>
<div uk-sticky="end: true"></div>

Offset
To set an offset to the viewport’s edge when the element is sticky, add the offset
option. The value can be in vh, % and px. It supports basic mathematics operands + and -.
<div uk-sticky="offset: 200"></div>
- Stick 200px below the top
-
<div class="uk-background-muted uk-height-large"> <div class="uk-card uk-card-body uk-card-default uk-position-z-index uk-text-center" uk-sticky="end: !.uk-height-large; offset: 200" > Stick 200px below the top </div> </div>
Animation
Add an animation from the Animation component in order to have the sticky element reappear smoothly if a start offset is set.
<div uk-sticky="start: 200; animation: uk-animation-slide-top"></div>
- Animation Slide Top
-
<div class="uk-background-muted uk-height-large"> <div class="uk-card uk-card-body uk-card-default uk-position-z-index uk-text-center" uk-sticky="start: 200; end: !.uk-height-large; offset: 80; animation: uk-animation-slide-top" > Animation Slide Top </div> </div>
Show On Up
You can make the sticky element show only when scrolling up to save space. Together with an animation, this makes for a very smooth experience.
<div uk-sticky="show-on-up: true"></div>
- Slide in on scroll up
-
<div class="uk-background-muted uk-height-large"> <div class="uk-card uk-card-body uk-card-default uk-position-z-index uk-text-center" uk-sticky="end: !.uk-height-large; offset: 80; show-on-up: true; animation: uk-animation-slide-top" > Slide in on scroll up </div> </div>
Responsive
It’s possible to disable the sticky behavior for different device widths by applying the media
option to the attribute and adding the appropriate viewport width. Add a number in pixel, for example media: 640
, or a breakpoint, for example media: @m
. The element will be sticky from the specified viewport width and upwards, but not below.
<div uk-sticky="media: 640"></div>
- Only be sticky on viewports larger than 640px.
-
<div class="uk-background-muted uk-height-large"> <div class="uk-card uk-card-body uk-card-default uk-position-z-index uk-text-center" uk-sticky="end: !.uk-height-large; offset: 80; media: 640" > Only be sticky on viewports larger than 640px. </div> </div>
Oversized Content
Sticky content that is larger than the viewport will scroll down and stick to the bottom of the viewport. Changing the scroll direction will immediately scroll the sticky content up and change the sticky behavior to stick to the top of the viewport. Scrolling down will change the behavior again.

Overflow Flip
The overflow-flip
option disables the sticky behavior for oversized content. Instead, it only flips the sticky position if the element is larger than the viewport. Changing the scroll direction will not affect the sticky position. Together with the start
and end
options, two nice sticky effects can be achieved. Cover an element by following content or reveal it by previous content.
<!-- Section will be covered by the next section -->
<div uk-sticky="overflow-flip: true; end: 100%"></div>
<div>Some section.</div>
<!-- Section will be revealed by the previous section -->
<div
uk-sticky="position: bottom; overflow-flip: true; start: -100%; end: 0"
></div>
- overflow-flip: true
end: 100%Cover previous section.
Reveal next section.position: bottom
overflow-flip: true
start: -100%
end: 0 -

Component options
Any of these options can be applied to the component attribute. Separate multiple options with a semicolon. Learn more
Option | Value | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|
position | top , bottom | top | The position the element should be stuck to. |
start | Length, CSS Selector | 0 | Start offset. The value can be in vh, % and px. It supports basic mathematics operands + and -. The default value of 0 means that the element’s top border and viewport’s top border intersect. A CSS Selector will set start to the selected element’s bottom border and the element’s top border. |
end | Length, CSS Selector, Boolean | false | End offset. The value can be in vh, % and px. It supports basic mathematics operands + and -. A value of 0 means that the element’s top border and viewport’s top border intersect, which would cause the element not to be sticky at all if start is also set to 0 . A CSS Selector will set the end to the selected element’s bottom and the element’s bottom border. false will make the element stick until the end of the page. true selects the parent element. |
offset | Length | 0 | The offset the Sticky should be fixed to. The value can be in vh, % and px. It supports basic mathematics operands + and -. |
overflow-flip | Boolean | false | Flip the Sticky’s position option if the element overflows the viewport and disable overflow scrolling. |
animation | String | false | The animation to use when the element becomes sticky. |
cls-active | String | uk-active | The active class. |
cls-inactive | String | The inactive class. | |
show-on-up | Boolean | false | Only show sticky element when scrolling up. |
media | Number, String | false | Condition for the active status - a width as integer (e.g. 640) or a breakpoint (e.g. @s, @m, @l, @xl) or any valid media query (e.g. (min-width: 900px)). |
target-offset | false , Length | false | Initially make sure that the Sticky element is not over a referenced element via the page’s location hash. The offset defines by how far the element will be above the referenced element. false will disable this behavior. |
