How do I determine height and scrolling position of window in jQuery?

from http://api.jquery.com/height/ (Note: The difference between the use for the window and the document object)

$(window).height();   // returns height of browser viewport
$(document).height(); // returns height of HTML document

from http://api.jquery.com/scrollTop/

$(window).scrollTop() // return the number of pixels scrolled vertically

From jQuery Docs:

const height = $(window).height();
const scrollTop = $(window).scrollTop();

http://api.jquery.com/scrollTop/
http://api.jquery.com/height/


$(window).height()

$(window).width()

There is also a plugin to jquery to determine element location and offsets

http://plugins.jquery.com/project/dimensions

scrolling offset = offsetHeight property of an element


Pure JS

window.innerHeight
window.scrollY

is more than 10x faster than jquery (and code has similar size):
