For example the infinite scroll plugin
This should do the same trick without plugin
$(window).scroll(function () {
if ($(window).scrollTop() >= $(document).height() - $(window).height() - 100) {
//Add something at the end of the page
}
});
According to @pere's comment, it's better to use the code below to avoid excessive amount of event firing.
Inspired from this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/13298018/153723
var scrollListener = function () {
$(window).one("scroll", function () { //unbinds itself every time it fires
if ($(window).scrollTop() >= $(document).height() - $(window).height() - 100) {
//Add something at the end of the page
}
setTimeout(scrollListener, 200); //rebinds itself after 200ms
});
};
$(document).ready(function () {
scrollListener();
});
Combining Ergec's answer and Pere's comment:
function watchScrollPosition(callback, distance, interval) {
var $window = $(window),
$document = $(document);
var checkScrollPosition = function() {
var top = $document.height() - $window.height() - distance;
if ($window.scrollTop() >= top) {
callback();
}
};
setInterval(checkScrollPosition, interval);
}
distance
is the number of pixels from the bottom of the screen when the callback will fire.
interval
is how often the check will run (in milliseconds; 250-1000 is reasonable).
I couldn't find one that did exactly what I wanted so I built one from scratch. It has a pause feature so it doesn't keep loading endlessly as you scroll. Sometimes somebody might want to see the page footer. It simply appends a "Show More" button to continue appending. I also incorporated localStorage so when a user clicks away they won't lose their place in the results.

It also has a callback function that can be called to manipulate the newly appended results.
Here you've a small guide on how to do it without a plugin. http://dumpk.com/2013/06/02/how-to-create-infinite-scroll-with-ajax-on-jquery/
This should take care of a bug where the user reaches the bottom of the page before the event fires. I was seeing this in my project you should check prior to initializing the event if you're already at the bottom of the page.
var scrollListener = function () {
executeScrollIfinBounds();
$(window).one("scroll", function () { //unbinds itself every time it fires
executeScrollIfinBounds();
setTimeout(scrollListener, 200); //rebinds itself after 200ms
});
};
$(document).ready(function () {
scrollListener();
});
function executeScrollIfinBounds()
{
if ($(window).scrollTop() >= $(document).height() - $(window).height() - 100) {
//Add something at the end of the page
}
}
