Sticky navigation on mobile but not desktop

Question

I've implemented the header design based on http://codepen.io/MarcRay/pen/vmJBn

$(window).scroll(function() {

  if ($(window).scrollTop() > 20) {
    $('.main_h').addClass('sticky');
  } else {
    $('.main_h').removeClass('sticky');
  }
});

However I need the mobile header to be sticky instead of making the user scroll to activate it. I'm useless with javascript. Any help appreciated!

Get the size of a screen in JS like window.screen.width and specify it in you condition (e.g. you specify mobiles as clients with screen width < 700 px ):

$(window).scroll(function() {
    if (window.screen.width < 700  || $(window).scrollTop() > 20) {
        $('.main_h').addClass('sticky');
    } else {
        $('.main_h').removeClass('sticky');
    }
});

P.S. Other conditions for finding out whether you are in a mobile can be found here

This will only activate the sticky header on mobile after the first scroll event was fired. — nirazul, Jun 07 '15 at 21:41
Then move out the device check. If device is movlbile assume sticky class and in else block supply you code ) — zmii, Jun 07 '15 at 21:50

Just add a mediaquery to your css, that overrides the JS behaviour of yours:
(766px being the last screen with where the header is always visible)

Example Fiddle

@media only screen and (max-width: 766px) {
    .main_h {
        background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.93);
        opacity: 1;
        top: 0px;
        border-bottom: 1px solid gainsboro;
    }

    .hero {
        margin-top: 70px;
    }
}

PS: Note that I added a margin-top to the .hero block, so that it is fully visible when the user has not scrolled down yet:

This works for mobile however it also applies the sticky class to the desktop view. Ideally it would only sticky on mobile and not desktop – tom harrison Jun 08 '15 at 12:06

You won't find the one true device check to ensure that the screen is in a mobile device. We live in a world of giant phones and tiny computers. Media queries are the current standard and best practice to ensure that mobile styles land on mobile devices. – nirazul Jun 08 '15 at 12:24

Seem to have solved it based on Nirazul's codepen so thank you very much!

http://codepen.io/anon/pen/xGdWVd

@media only screen and (max-width: 766px) {
  .main_h {
    background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.93);
    opacity: 1;
    top: 0px;
    border-bottom: 1px solid gainsboro;
  } 
  .sticky {
    background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.93);
    opacity: 1;
    top: 0px;
    border-bottom: 1px solid gainsboro;
  }
}

.sticky {
  background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.93);
  opacity: 1;
  top: 0px;
  border-bottom: 1px solid gainsboro;
}
