Re: Sticky Positioning

Sorry about that, looks like the behavior is currently restricted to
Android.

You can simulate an Android browser in desktop Chrome (I tested the
following using version 20 beta) by doing the following:
- Visit http://google.com/
- Click "Developer tools", then the small gear at the bottom right of the
panel.
- Click "Override User Agent" and select "Android 2.3 - Nexus S" (not
Galaxy Nexus as the high resolution somehow breaks the behavior I'm
describing in this desktop simulation mode -- though it does happen on a
real Galaxy Nexus)
- Reload the page to see the mobile version, then click "Restaurants" as
before.

You should see the map is sticky, then appears to reach a limit and
gradually falls out of view if you scroll down to the bottom of the page.
