Sticky Bar pins to the viewport top when scrolled past, acquiring frosted glass and subtle elevation.

What you just saw:A frosted glass top navigation bar that snaps to the top edge as you scroll down a lengthy landing page, or a sticky checkout action anchored securely to the bottom of a mobile commerce page.

What it actually is

Sticky Bars rely on CSS position: sticky to preserve natural document flow while ensuring high-intent navigation or CTAs remain pinned once scrolled past. Unlike position: fixed, sticky elements naturally push preceding siblings without jarring content overlaps, seamlessly docking frosted headers or mobile checkout triggers.

Don't just say this to AI

Bad → Better

Don't say this to AI

Keep the menu floating at the top.

Say this instead

Implement a sticky frosted header: sticky top-0 z-40 w-full backdrop-blur-md bg-surface/85 border-b border-line/60, ensure parent overflow is visible, and cast subtle elevation upon scroll.
