Reply To: Make element sticky on touch screens only happens after scroll is finished

Good point, that would not be very convenient with existing structures. But that page was so old (my first efforts at fiddling around with web design) that it deserved a complete rewrite. The fixed elements there are just a “frame” for housing the other content and not markup that would need nesting, so I removed that. But if anything, it does illustrate a similar issue.

I think the webkit related browsers have a long history of problematic fixed positioning, there’s quite a few more bugs around. Firefox seems to have taken the approach from the beginning to render fixed layers separately, repainting them most smoothly. And IE’s somewhere in between, I think.
