Now, let's dive into creating a sticky effect using Editor X.

What Makes an Element Sticky?

In the world of web design, the term "sticky" refers to a property you can assign to an element on your site. Attaching this property enables the element to stick to the top of its parent container while the user scrolls down. This unique user experience can be achieved using CSS or JavaScript in traditional web development, but Editor X makes it even easier.

Applying the Sticky Position in Editor X

To apply the sticky position property to any element in Editor X, follow these simple steps:

1. Select the Element: Click on the element you want to make sticky. For example, select the background image of a section or a title that you want to remain visible as users scroll.

2. Open the Property Panel: With the element selected, locate the property panel in the editor interface. This will provide you with a list of options to customize the appearance and behavior of the selected element.

3. Choose the Sticky Position: In the property panel, locate the scroll effect dropdown menu. From the available options, select the "sticky position." This will change the element's position within its container so it sticks to the top as you scroll.

At this point, you may notice that the sticky element now covers other elements within its section. Don't worry—we'll fix that next!

4. Adjust the Element's Position: To make sure the sticky element doesn't cover your other content, you need to move it back in the stacking order. You can do this by dragging the element to the desired position in the Layers panel, right-clicking the element and choosing Arrange > Move Backwards, or using the hotkey command for moving a layer down.

With these steps complete, the element will now have a "sticky" positioning effect.

Previewing the Sticky Effect

After applying the sticky position, go ahead and preview your design. As you scroll down, you'll see the sticky element—like your background image—remaining fixed at the top of the page, while other content continues to scroll.

This effect can be implemented on various elements across your site, adding an interactive and dynamic experience for your users.

Conclusion

Editor X makes it easy to create a sticky effect on your website. With just a few clicks, you can assign the sticky property to any element and make it stay fixed while the user scrolls down. This simple yet powerful feature will surely help to enhance the appearance and interactivity of your designs.
