Question

I want to format the posts on a blog to have stacking ‘title divs’ when the user scrolls down the page. The only way for me to explain this was to make a little demo by cheating and using z-index all over the place to simulate how it’s supposed to look.

I want to recreate this effect but make it applicable to posts on a blog. Is this possible?

EDIT: Trying to find a way to create this effect using javascript.

Here’s the current css:

body {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
}

h2, h3, p {
    padding: 0px;
    margin: 0px;
}

#container {
    position: relative;
    width: 360px;
    margin: 0px auto;
}

#header {
    position: fixed;
    top: 0px;
    width: 360px;
    height: 60px;
    background: #fff;
    z-index: 10;
}

#right_column {
    width: 360px;
    margin: 60px 0px 0px 0px;
}

    #right_column .first_title {
        position: relative;
        margin: 0px;
        font-size:32px;
        line-height: 30px;
        z-index: 9;
        background: #fff;
    }

    #right_column .first_fixed {
        position: fixed;
        top: 60px;
        z-index:6;
        width: 360px;
        background: #eee;
        border-top: #999 1px solid;
    }

    #right_column .first {
        position: relative;
        z-index: 5;
        background: #fff;
    }

    #right_column .second_title {
        position: relative;
        margin: 0px;
        font-size:32px;
        line-height: 30px;
        z-index: 5;
        background: #fff;
    }

    #right_column .second_fixed {
        width: 360px;
        position: fixed;
        top: 80px;
        z-index: 3;
        border-top: #999 1px solid;
        background: #eee;
    }

    #right-column .second {
        position: relative;
        z-index: 2;
    }

Here’s the markup:

    <h2 class="first_title">This is the article title.</h2>
        <h3 class="first_fixed">This is the article title.</h3>
                 <p class="first">This is some text.</p>
    <h2 class="second_title">This is the article title.</h2>
        <h3 class="second_fixed">This is the article title.</h3>
                <p class="second">This is some text.</p>

I’m not sure what you are asking for .. I suppose you are trying to have an alternative to the one you already found. In this case you might want to have a look at the jQuery waypoints plugin in this example .. you define markers which trigger events when you scroll the page.
Here its main page
