I'm trying to complete a project without using jQuery. Looking good until now. But, there is something I can't manage: scroll position and direction.
What I basically want is to add a class to an element when we reach a point when going down and remove that class when we reach the same point, but, going up.
I have created a JSFiddle
recently it might help you to get this done. http://jsfiddle.net/UFV7R/5/ You have to include the detection from where you are scrolling, you could do this by storing the last scrollbar position and compare it to the current one.
You are going to want to use
var scrollObject = {};
window.onscroll = getScrollPosition;
function getScrollPosition(){
scrollObject = {
x: window.pageXOffset,
y: window.pageYOffset
}
// If you want to check distance
if(scrollObject.y > 200) {
// add class
} else {
// remove class
}
}
That said, I would highly recommend looking into a throttling method to improve performance of this method.
