so I have multiple divs of the same class below each other. I now want to trigger a "loading comments"-function every time a visitor scrolls to a new div. However, I have no idea how to track jQuery scroll over a div. The comments for each div should only be loaded once, my idea would be to save the current position in a variable and only load comments when the new scroll position is greater than the old one.
Can you please help me out?

EDIT 2: SOLVED! Solved with Viewport (thanks to Royi Namir) http://www.appelsiini.net/projects/viewport
My code:
load = $(".my-div:in-viewport").attr('id');
load_comments(load);
This is executed every second.
you should read about viewport
Viewport ads couple of extra selectors to jQuery. With these selectors you can check whether element is inside or outside of viewport. To see how it works check the demo.
