I'm trying to determine when I've scrolled to the bottom of the page (without using any JS library), but so far, I'm a bit confused over which one of the following to use. The most promising one I've seen is window.scrollY
, but even when scrolled to the bottom of the page, it never matches the value of window.innerHeight
. What's the best way to do this?
window.innerWidth
window.innerHeight
window.outerWidth
window.outerHeight
window.scrollX
window.scrollY
document.body.scrollWidth
document.body.scrollHeight
document.body.scrollTop
document.body.scrollLeft
document.body.offsetTop
document.body.offsetLeft
document.body.offsetWidth
document.body.offsetHeight
when window.innerHeight
+ document.body.scrollTop
is greater than or equal to document.body.offsetHeight
then you are at bottom
but since IE has issues with these properties you need to use alternative properties, like
document.documentElement.scrollTop
for the scroll and document.documentElement.clientHeight
for the window height

Being a lazy person at heart, I would put an element to the very bottom of the DIV, and apply the "element in view" jQuery plugin on it. (Disclaimer: I have no own experience with it but it looks good.)
A slight variation of the example from the blog entry:
$('#bottomDIV').bind('inview', function (event, visible) {
if (visible == true) {
// element is now visible in the viewport
highlightButtons(); // or whatever you want to do in the context
}
});
This works fine:
window.onscroll = function()
{
var scrollHeight, totalHeight;
scrollHeight = document.body.scrollHeight;
totalHeight = window.scrollY + window.innerHeight;
if(totalHeight >= scrollHeight)
{
console.log("at the bottom");
}
}
