How to check if scrollbar is at the bottom
You can check if the element scrollTop
is equal to the element innerHeight
.
if($('div').scrollTop() == $('div').innerHeight()){
//Reached the bottom
}
This is working well for my chat window. It also detects if the content isn't long enough to be scrolled.
function atBottom(ele) {
var sh = ele.scrollHeight;
var st = ele.scrollTop;
var ht = ele.offsetHeight;
if(ht==0) {
return true;
}
if(st == sh - ht)
{return true;}
else
{return false;}
}
You find the height of the scrolling container, then compare that to the scroll position. If they are the same, then you have reached the bottom.
<div style="overflow: auto; height: 500px">
</div>
$(document).ready(function()
{
$('div').scroll(function()
{
var div = $(this);
if (div.height() == div.scrollTop() + 1) //scrollTop is 0 based
{
alert('Reached the bottom!");
}
});
});
Edit: a little testing in a js fiddle and I realized the previous version is incorrect. You can use a DOM property to find out how much scrolling there is a perform a little math with the height of the element like so
var div = $(this);
if (div[0].scrollHeight - div.scrollTop() == div.height())
{
alert('Reached the bottom!');
}

This worked for me (using jQuery):
$(document).ready(function(){
$('div').scroll(function(){
//scrollTop refers to the top of the scroll position, which will be scrollHeight - offsetHeight
if(this.scrollTop == (this.scrollHeight - this.offsetHeight)) {
console.log("Top of the bottom reached!");
}
});
});
