FOUR POSITION TYPES, FOUR JOBS

FOUR POSITION TYPES, FOUR JOBS

Relative flows with the layout, absolute pins to the parent, fixed pins to the viewport, and sticky flows until it hits its edge. Nearly every layout problem is one of these being used for the wrong job.

PICK THE RIGHT POSITION

Work through a hero, a navbar and a section heading, and choose the position each one needs.

Start with relative

Start with relative

The default. The element flows in the stack and pushes its siblings around it.

Use absolute to layer

Pin an element to its parent, then control what sits on top with z-index.

Use fixed or sticky to hold

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Everything you need to know about this lesson.

What are the position options in Framer?

Relative, absolute, fixed and sticky. Relative flows with the layout, absolute pins to the parent, fixed pins to the viewport, and sticky holds once it reaches its edge.

What's the difference between fixed and sticky in Framer?

Fixed stays in the same place on screen wherever the visitor scrolls. Sticky scrolls with the page until it reaches its boundary, then holds there.

Why isn't sticky positioning working in Framer?

Usually a parent frame's overflow is set to hidden. Set it to clip, which is the default and leaves sticky working.
