BG color should be #1A1A1A on start then change after scrolling 210 px. Not sure where I'm going wrong.
$(document).ready(function(){
var scroll_pos = 0;
$(document).scroll(function() {
scroll_pos = $(this).scrollTop();
if(scroll_pos > 210) {
$("#left-panel").css('background-color', '#1A1A1A');
} else {
$("#left-panel").css('background-color', 'red');
}
});
});
You need to bind your scroll event to your div
with id="left-panel"
, because that's the element that has the scrollbar on it (i.e. the element with overflow: auto
and a child element larger than itself).
Binding to document
or window
won't work, because in this case they are not the element with the scrollbar.
Working Live Demo:
$(document).ready(function () {
var scroll_pos = 0;
$("#left-panel").scroll(function () {
scroll_pos = $(this).scrollTop();
if (scroll_pos > 210) {
$("#left-panel").css('background-color', '#1A1A1A');
} else {
$("#left-panel").css('background-color', 'red');
}
console.log(scroll_pos);
});
});
#left-panel {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 80%;
height: 100%;
z-index: 2;
overflow:auto;
height:2000px;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="left-panel">
<div style="height:5000px;">CONTENT</div>
</div>
