Can an element in Webflow stop being sticky after scrolling past a specific point on the page, similar to the image on the homepage of the Webflow site?
TL;DR
- Apply sticky positioning with a top offset to the element and place it inside a taller parent container to define its sticky range.
- Use scroll interactions or trigger elements for added control, such as hiding or animating the sticky element after a scroll threshold.
Yes, in Webflow you can make an element "stop being sticky" after scrolling past a specific point by combining a sticky positioning style with a scroll interaction or properly structured layout behavior.
1. Use Sticky Positioning for the Element
- Select the element you want to be sticky.
- In the Style panel, set Position to Sticky.
- Set Top offset (e.g.,
top: 0px) so the element starts sticking when it reaches the top of its container or the viewport.
2. Structure Your Page to Define the Sticky Range
- Make sure the sticky element is inside a parent container that is taller than the viewport.
- Sticky positioning works within the boundaries of its parent, so it will stop being sticky once the user scrolls past the end of the parent element.
- To control where the sticky effect ends, set the height of the parent container based on when you want the effect to stop.
3. Optional: Use Scroll Interactions for More Complex Behaviors
- If you want the sticky element to fade out, move, shrink, or transform at a specific scroll point, use Webflow Interactions:
- Go to the Interactions panel.
- Choose Page Scroll – While Page is Scrolling or While Scrolling in View.
- Apply animations to the sticky element based on its scroll position.
- You can also target a scroll trigger element (like a div lower on the page) to make the sticky element transition or hide once that point is reached.
4. Use a Spacer or Sentinel Element (If Needed)
- Add a hidden element (like a div block) lower on the page to serve as a "scroll sentinel".
- Attach an interaction to this element (e.g., “When this element scrolls into view, hide the sticky element”).
Summary
To stop a sticky element in Webflow after a scroll point:
- Use sticky positioning within a tall parent container so it has a scroll range.
- Optionally, layer scroll interactions or trigger elements to add more control or animation.
This mimics the effect used on Webflow’s homepage hero section.
