This plugin, called Stickyfloat : jQuery Animated Fixed Position Element Plugin, makes it possible to have a fixed-position element. The element remains relative to its parent container instead of being completely detached from the page layout. A normal fixed-position element is usually out of context and difficult to use in fluid designs. This plugin solves that problem with minimal code and optimized performance. It also provides customization options to suit different design and functionality requirements.
Features:
- Can handle many floated elements, each with it’s own settings
- Floated elements’ movement can be bound inside their parents’ area
- Uses Native javascript easing, but using CSS3 transitions would be the optimum (not for IE)
- Has many settings, such as stick to the bottom or animation style
- Code is very maintainable and higly efficient
