    <script type="text/javascript" src="scroller.js"></script>

</html>

My CSS is :

body {
    font-family: verdana;
    font-size: small;
    background-color: #B7BBDC;
}

#container {
    max-width: 980px;
}

#main {
    width: 500px;
    margin: auto;
    padding: 20px;
    background-color: #A6D98F;
}

#description {
    width: 200px;
    background-color: #F2E5A0;
    padding: 5px;
    float: right;
    margin: 5px;
}

#sidebar {
    width: 200px;
    background-color: #F2B3C4;
    position: relative;
    padding: 5px;
    float: right;
    clear: right;
    margin: 5px;
}

#navLinks {
    list-style-type: none;
}

#navLinks li {
    display: block;
    padding: 10px;
    text-transform: uppercase;
}

My jQuery is :

$(document).ready( function() 
{

    $(document).scroll(function() 
    {
        if($(document).scrollTop() > $("#description").height())
            $("#sidebar").css('top', ($(document).scrollTop() - $("#description").height()));
        else
            $("#sidebar").css('top', '0');
    });

});

Finally, here's a working fiddle.

For some reason, the fiddle doesn't recreate my problem. But if possible run this code on your own machine. It'll be recreated accordingly.

So, whenever I scroll beyond a certain point, the pink sidebar is supposed to scroll with the page. This functionality works perfectly, except for the fact it jitters like there's an earthquake. I believe it's because the element "jumps" as the scrolling isn't continuous with a mouse. If we scroll using the scrollbar, the effect is perfect. How do I remedy this?

Bonus : Does anyone know why the JSFiddle displays this seamlessly, but my own browser can't natively?

What browser are you using? Safari is notoriously bad for changing things relative to mouse movement (its a battery optimisation thing) — somethinghere, Aug 10 '16 at 12:08
First of all, don’t use the scroll event like that, it is bad for performance. http://ejohn.org/blog/learning-from-twitter/ I’d suggest you implement a reasonable delay to the scroll reaction, and then put a _transition_ on the top property (via CSS), so that it moves to the target position more smoothly. — CBroe, Aug 10 '16 at 12:09
@CBroe if I weren't to use CSS are you suggesting .animate method? — Somenath Sinha, Aug 10 '16 at 12:11
No, just a `transition` set for the element, so that it transitions changes to the `top` value, instead of directly jumping to that point. — CBroe, Aug 10 '16 at 12:12
@Cbros this will undo any live effect and cause a delay in responsiveness, which means it will act entirely differently than intended... — somethinghere, Aug 10 '16 at 12:13

That's because you are performing quite CPU demanding task 60 times per second (scroll). In every frame you are performing jQuery search and jQuery height calculations and some page repainting - these are very expensive.

It would help if you could have two states (fixed, non-fixed) defined in css and toggle css class in javascript.

Also you could store in a variable results of $("#description").height()

$(document).ready( function() {
    var descrHeight = $("#description").height();
    var sidebar = $("#sidebar");
    $(document).scroll(function() {
        if($(document).scrollTop() > descrHeight)
            sidebar.addClass('sticky');
        else
            sidebar.removeClass('sticky');
    });
});

I have updated your Fiddle

Would you provide an example? Perhaps with a JSFiddle? – Somenath Sinha Aug 10 '16 at 12:51 — Somenath Sinha, Aug 10 '16 at 12:51

With the scroll event you may use throttle :

_.throttle(function, wait, [options])

Creates and returns a new, throttled version of the passed function, that, when invoked repeatedly, will only actually call the original function at most once per every wait milliseconds. Useful for rate-limiting events that occur faster than you can keep up with.

The right value of wait parameter is up to you.

The snippet:

$(document).ready( function() {
  $("#sidebar").data('last-scroll-time', Date.now())
  $(document).scroll(_.throttle(function()
                                {
    if($(document).scrollTop() > $("#description").height())
      $("#sidebar").css('top', ($(document).scrollTop() - $("#description").height()));
    else
      $("#sidebar").css('top', '0');
  }, 300));
});
