I'm trying to make a sidebar and top of the page not move when you scroll (like Twitter, Facebook, etc.). I'm only using CSS and Html.
I managed to make the side bars stay there, but the "Home" part does not work. I tried with Position: Sticky, set overflow-x to auto for the parent, tried wrapping it into another div and self-align: flex-start, but nothing seems to be working.
Now that I put it into a smaller screen, it also looks to overlap the Side bar with the Feed, and hide the Widgets.

In your code if you remove overflow-x: auto from .feed and add
.feed_header {
position: sticky;
top: 0;
}
the 'Home' heading sticks to the top as you scroll.
Another way is to use
.feed_header {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
}
.feed {
margin-top: 16px;
}
This fixes the feed_header to the top of the screen as you scroll. The feed container then needs a bit of spacing at the top to ensure the feed_header isn't overlapping.
CodePudding user response：
Remove overflow-x: auto; from .feed and add this to your css:
.feed_header, .tweetBox {
position: sticky;
top: 0;
}
CodePudding user response：
Please insert the following code and make changes to your classes as well.
change from .feed-header to .feed_header
.feed_header {
border: 1px solid var(--twitter-background);
padding: 15px 20px;
/* I DONT KNOW HOW TO MAKE THIS STICK */
position: fixed; /*Code to add*/
top: 0; /*Code to add*/
}
CodePudding user response：
Adding on to @John's answer - sometimes you may need to specify z-index:1 to have the element always on top while scrolling. Like this:
position: -webkit-sticky; /* Safari & IE */
position: sticky;
top: 0;
z-index: 1;
CodePudding user response：
Just add position: fixed for sidebar and feed header.
.feed_header, .sidebar {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
}
