Make scrolling sidebar stop at footer
You can check if you've scrolled down to the footer, then remove the stick
class:
function sticky_relocate() {
var window_top = $(window).scrollTop();
var footer_top = $("#footer").offset().top;
var div_top = $('#sticky-anchor').offset().top;
var div_height = $("#sticky").height();
if (window_top + div_height > footer_top)
$('#sticky').removeClass('stick');
else if (window_top > div_top) {
$('#sticky').addClass('stick');
} else {
$('#sticky').removeClass('stick');
}
}
(you could combine the if to remove the duplicate .removeClass, here for demonstration)
However, with your css you get a nasty 'jump' around when you start scrolling - in your fiddle, the right content appears below #sticky then when you stick #sticky, the right content jumps to fill the gap. Using the code above, you'll get some race-conditions as the offset() moves when it fills/unfills the gap.
To fix this gap, just add a float:left
to your #sticky css.

I suspect you would like to go one step further and, when you get to the bottom, the div then starts to scroll with the page. You can do this by adjusting the 'position:fixed' top of .stick
. Don't forget to reset it when not below the footer:
function sticky_relocate() {
var window_top = $(window).scrollTop();
var footer_top = $("#footer").offset().top;
var div_top = $('#sticky-anchor').offset().top;
var div_height = $("#sticky").height();
var padding = 20; // tweak here or get from margins etc
if (window_top + div_height > footer_top - padding)
$('#sticky').css({top: (window_top + div_height - footer_top + padding) * -1})
else if (window_top > div_top) {
$('#sticky').addClass('stick');
$('#sticky').css({top: 0})
} else {
$('#sticky').removeClass('stick');
}
}
The padding just makes it start scrolling in a more natural place - you can probably get this from other css attributes such as margin and padding of the other components.

You forgot to add class, if we are in the footer, and refrech the page, then, the sidebar won't show :
function sticky_relocate() {
var window_top = $(window).scrollTop();
var footer_top = $("#footer").offset().top;
var div_top = $('#sticky-anchor').offset().top;
var div_height = $("#sticky").height();
var padding = 20; // tweak here or get from margins etc
if (window_top + div_height > footer_top - padding) {
$('#sticky').addClass('stick'); //////// here is to get fixed when we refrech page when we are in the footer
$('#sticky').css({top: (window_top + div_height - footer_top + padding) * -1})
} else if (window_top > div_top) {
$('#sticky').addClass('stick');
$('#sticky').css({top: 0})
} else {
$('#sticky').removeClass('stick');
}
}
This can now be achieved without javascript using position: sticky
.

The key is to wrap the sticky element in another div
. Since the sticky element cannot move outside of its wrapper div it get scrolled up when the footer comes into view.
