按固定位置的元素重叠页脚

Question

I have sidebar block, which has position fixed.
I need to fix overlapping of the footer by this sidebar when I scroll browser's window.

I tried to change the positioning of sidebar to absolute , calculate conditions of movement and move it on scroll event of window, but it does not work correctly when I scroll fast.

How can I fix this, problem when scrolling the window fast, or, suggest if there is a js plugin for this?

It worked perfectly.
