Reveal Section on Scroll Back

Code Toolkit
Written By Squarestylist Support

What You'll Create

A section that appears only when users scroll back up the page - perfect for secondary navigation, promotional banners, or back-to-top elements that don't clutter the initial view.

The Problem It Solves

Some elements are only useful after users have scrolled through content. This technique keeps sections hidden during normal scrolling but reveals them when scrolling back up, creating a smarter user experience.

Perfect For

Secondary navigation, Promotional banners, Quick contact sections, Newsletter signups, Back-to-top elements.

What Makes This Different

JavaScript detects scroll direction and adds a "scrolling-up" class to the body. CSS makes the target section sticky and fades it in/out based on this class. Smooth opacity transitions create an elegant reveal effect.
