Stick element to top after scroll

I want to make container/div in sidebar moving/following along with page scrolling down. It is not just a position:fixed container. It will move only when it shoul开发者_如何学Cd disappear being scrolled down. What is the best practice to implement?

Thank you

Say we want to:

1. start at 260px from top (as defined in CSS)
2. stick at 24px from top (as defined in JS)

var $sticky = $("#sticky"),
    pos = {
      abs : {position: "absolute",  top: parseInt($sticky.css("top"), 10) },
      fix : {position: "fixed",     top: 24 /* <<< SET AS DESIRED */ },
    };

$(window).on("load scroll", function() {
  var canFix = $(this).scrollTop() >= pos.abs.top - pos.fix.top;
  $sticky.css( pos[ canFix? "fix" : "abs" ] );
});

body{
  height: 2000px;
  border: 4px dashed #444;
}
#sticky{
  height: 100px;
  background: #0bf;
  position:absolute;
  top: 260px;   /* <<< SET AS DESIRED */
}

SCROLL!
<div id="sticky">STICK ME AT 24 FROM TOP</div>
