How to check if an element is off-screen

Question

I need to check with jQuery if a DIV element is not falling off-screen. The elements are visible and displayed according CSS attributes, but they could be intentionally plac

Answer 1

• Get the distance from the top of the given element
• Add the height of the same given element. This will tell you the total number from the top of the screen to the end of the given element.

• Then all you have to do is subtract that from total document height

  jQuery(function () {
      var documentHeight = jQuery(document).height();
      var element = jQuery('#you-element');
      var distanceFromBottom = documentHeight - (element.position().top + element.outerHeight(true));
      alert(distanceFromBottom)
  });
