jQuery sticky top menu bar request

Question

Im looking for a jQuery pluging (or code/guide) that does this: http://codecanyon.net/item/jquery-css3-sticky-mega-menu-bar/full_screen_preview/239093

This one is not free

Note: Notice the navigation bar is not placed at the top from the beginning. It sticks once the viewport "hits" it.

Answer 1

Anthony Garand also has a pretty sticky plugin - All free and actually maintained on GitHub:

Answer 2

You could reverse engineer @genesis link which is the exact script you are looking for (no it is not hard)

I couldn't find a url for a non-minified version.. so here it is.

(function ($) {
    $.fn.stickyMenubar = function (o) {
        o = $.extend({
            top: null,
            floatingDiv: null,
            floatingDivBackground: false,
            megaMenu: true,
            onScroll: function () {},
            onLeaveTop: function () {},
            sensitivity: 7,
            padding: 5,
            container_width: 960
        }, o || {});
        var setLiActions = function (t, lvl) {
                var parent_ul = t.children('ul:first');
                if (lvl > 0) {
                    t.addClass('inner_menu').hide();
                } else {
                    if (!o.floatingDivBackground) {
                        t.addClass('smenubar_background');
                    }
                }
                t.mouseleave(function () {

play around with it. generally these plugins are very scale-able and customize-able so there is a bunch of junk code in there. The majority of what you want seems to be encased in

(window).scroll(function () {
                if ($(this).scrollTop() >= top_Y) {
                    if (!($.browser.msie && ($.browser.version <= 7.0))) {
                        floatingDiv.addClass('float_top');
                        o.onLeaveTop.call(this);
                    }
                } else {
                    floatingDiv.removeClass('float_top').removeClass('float_top_ie7');
                    o.onScroll.call(this);
                }
                var open_menu = $('.inner_menu:visible');
                var parent_li = open_menu.parent();
                var pos = parent_li.position();
                open_menu.css({
                    top: pos.top + parent_li.height()
                });
            });
