Sticky-kit is a jQuery plugin that makes elements stick to the page as the user scrolls, keeping them visible within their parent container. It handles bottoming out, multiple sticky columns, and elements taller than the viewport.

Use cases

• make a sidebar stay visible while scrolling
• create sticky columns in a multi-column layout
• keep an element pinned until its parent container ends
• make a tall sticky element scroll within the viewport
• prevent a sticky element from covering the footer

When to choose

• you already use jQuery and need sticky positioning with bottoming-out behavior
• you need to support older browsers lacking CSS position: sticky
• you have multiple sticky columns with varying heights

When to avoid

• you use a modern framework where CSS position: sticky suffices
• your project does not include jQuery
• you need an actively developed solution with recent maintenance
