# bigspotteddog/ScrollToFixed

This plugin is used to fix elements on the page (top, bottom, anywhere); however, it still allows the element to continue to move left or right with the horizontal scroll.

## What it is
A jQuery plugin that fixes page elements (headers, footers, sidebars) in place during vertical scrolling while still allowing horizontal movement with the page. It supports options like marginTop, limit, and lifecycle callbacks such as preFixed and postFixed.

## Use cases
- make a header stick to the top when scrolling
- keep a shopping cart visible while scrolling a long page
- create a fixed footer that unfixes past a limit
- fix a sidebar navigation during scroll
- sticky elements that still move with horizontal scroll

## When to choose
- you have a legacy jQuery codebase needing sticky/fixed element behavior
- you need fine-grained control over fixed positioning limits and callbacks
- you need support for older browsers like IE8/9

## When to avoid
- you are building a modern app without jQuery — use CSS position: sticky instead
- you need a framework-native solution for React, Vue, or Angular
- the project requires actively maintained dependencies
