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
  • Set the element to sticky with a top offset and wrap it inside a taller parent container to limit the sticky area.
  • For advanced behavior, use Webflow scroll interactions to simulate stopping the stickiness at a specific scroll point.

Yes, in Webflow you can make an element stop being sticky after a specific scroll point, similar to how the image on Webflow’s homepage scrolls with the page and then locks in place.

1. Use Sticky Positioning for Initial Behavior

  • Set the element's position to “Sticky” and define the top offset value (e.g., top: 50px) so it becomes sticky after reaching that point.
  • This will keep the element sticking to the top of the viewport until its parent element ends.

2. Limit Sticky Region with a Wrapper

  • Wrap the sticky element inside a parent div (e.g., call it “Sticky Wrapper”).
  • The sticky behavior will only apply within the bounds of this parent container.
  • Once the bottom of the parent div scrolls past the sticky element’s height, the element will stop sticking and continue scrolling.

3. Adjust Parent Height as Needed

  • Make sure the height of the sticky element is less than the height of the parent container.
  • If the parent container is too short, the sticky item won’t have room to scroll and release properly.

4. Use Scroll Animation (Optional for Advanced Control)

  • To go beyond the native sticky behavior (like locking the image at a specific custom scroll location), you can use Webflow Interactions:
  • Set a scroll trigger on the page or a larger wrapper.
  • Create an animation that changes the position from sticky to fixed or static at a certain scroll point.
  • Be careful—Webflow interactions can't toggle native CSS positions like sticky, but you can simulate this by layering opacity, transforms, or position fixed visibility workarounds.

Summary

To make an element sticky and then stop at a specific scroll point in Webflow, wrap it in a taller parent container and use CSS sticky positioning. For more complex control, combine this with Webflow scroll interactions to mimic dynamic behaviors like Webflow’s homepage.
