Make process flowchart sticky on page

[sarahelizabeth]

....so that it stays in place while scrolling through the table of contents at larger viewpoints ONLY (no tablet)

[sarahelizabeth]

I found this but I'm having trouble implementing it @bepetersn do i need to include the whole "jQuery-Stickem" folder or just the "jquery.stickem.js" file?

[bepetersn]

Can @wilbertom or @eads try to do this, I don't see how to do it. Everytime my element sticks, it becomes taller and wider inexplicably. Affix doesn't even have a clear way to make the fixed element unfix after a certain point, which is important for this use case. Maybe we have to use javascript to get that behavior, instead of pure css. Another thing people seem to suggest is fixing a parent element and controlling the child element inside of it; maybe that will fix the weird size changes.

Either way, I don't want to fix this right now.

As I told sarah this morning, please stop trying to make affix work here
and just let it scroll.

Can you help me understand what "let it scroll" means? What Sarah said of
your commentary was TO use Bootstrap's affix instead of the stick'em jquery
plugin.

Right. But you're also struggling with that. There's a bunch of tricks
you'll need to make it work that neither of you are going to acquire in the
next day, so just don't try and make it affix. I can show you those tricks
when the project is done.

Take it from a guy who likes sticky elements waaaay too much.

By let it scroll I just mean don't try to apply position: fixed to the
element, just leave it as a statically positioned element and let it scroll
with the rest of the content.

So what you're trying to tell me is to to relax and not worry about it? :D
