How to make the sidebars in the holy grail layout made with flexbox be made sticky? ie. the aside and nav portion of the html should stop scrolling down further when the last element has reached. I tried multiple ways but achieved little success.
HTML:
<body>
<header>header</header>
<div id='main'>
<article>This area has lot of content </article>`
<nav> This nav should not scroll</nav>
<aside>This aside too</div></aside>
</div>
<footer>footer</footer>
</body>
CSS:
body {
/*font: 24px Helvetica;*/
background: #999999;
}
#main {
min-height: 800px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
display: -webkit-flex;
display: flex;
-webkit-flex-flow: row;
flex-flow: row;
}
#main > article {
margin: 4px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #cccc33;
border-radius: 7pt;
background: #dddd88;
-webkit-flex: 3 1 60%;
flex: 3 1 60%;
-webkit-order: 2;
order: 2;
}
#main > nav {
margin: 4px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #8888bb;
border-radius: 7pt;
background: #ccccff;
-webkit-flex: 1 6 20%;
flex: 1 6 20%;
-webkit-order: 1;
order: 1;
}
#main > aside {
margin: 4px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #8888bb;
border-radius: 7pt;
background: #ccccff;
-webkit-flex: 1 6 20%;
flex: 1 6 20%;
-webkit-order: 3;
order: 3;
}
header, footer {
display: block;
margin: 4px;
padding: 5px;
min-height: 100px;
border: 1px solid #eebb55;
border-radius: 7pt;
background: #ffeebb;
}

What about using the new CSS3 position: sticky on the nav and aside elements?
The disadvantage to this approach is that it's not supported by Internet Explorer, but it does require zero Javascript.
I made that change here:
body {
/*font: 24px Helvetica;*/
background: #999999;
}
#main {
position: relative;
min-height: 800px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
display: -webkit-flex;
display: flex;
-webkit-flex-flow: row;
flex-flow: row;
}
#main > article {
margin: 4px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #cccc33;
border-radius: 7pt;
background: #dddd88;
-webkit-flex: 3 1 60%;
flex: 3 1 60%;
-webkit-order: 2;
order: 2;
}
#main > nav {
margin: 4px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #8888bb;
border-radius: 7pt;
background: #ccccff;
-webkit-flex: 1 6 20%;
flex: 1 6 20%;
-webkit-order: 1;
order: 1;
}
#main > aside {
margin: 4px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #8888bb;
border-radius: 7pt;
background: #ccccff;
-webkit-flex: 1 6 20%;
flex: 1 6 20%;
-webkit-order: 3;
order: 3;
}
#main > nav, #main > aside {
position: sticky;
top: 0;
height: 100%;
}
header, footer {
display: block;
margin: 4px;
padding: 5px;
min-height: 100px;
border: 1px solid #eebb55;
border-radius: 7pt;
background: #ffeebb;
}<body>
<header>header</header>
<div id='main'>
<article>This area has lot of content </article>`
<nav> This nav should not scroll</nav>
<aside>This aside too</div></aside>
</div>
<footer>footer</footer>
