Check if element is between 30% and 60% of the viewport

Question

I am trying to change the color of

elements when they are between 30% and 60% of the viewport.

So I have this grid of elements stacking side

Answer 1

1. Use scroll event handler on window
2. Loop over all the li elements to check if the element is in the interested viewport
3. Get the li position from top and check if it is in the interested viewport section.

Demo:

Changed the height of li for demo purpose.

See the comments inline in the code.

$(document).ready(function() {
  // Get viewport height, gridTop and gridBottom
  var windowHeight = $(window).height(),
    gridTop = windowHeight * .3,
    gridBottom = windowHeight * .6;

  $(window).on('scroll', function() {
    // On each scroll check if `li` is in interested viewport
    $('ul li').each(function() {
      var thisTop = $(this).offset().top - $(window).scrollTop(); // Get the `top` of this `li`

      // Check if this element is in the interested viewport
      if (thisTop >= gridTop && (thisTop + $(this).height()) <= gridBottom) {
        $(this).css('background', 'red');
      } else {
        $(this).css('background', 'gray');
      }
    });
  });
});

ul {
  margin: 0;
  list-style-type: none;
  padding: 0;
}
ul li {
  width: 50px;
  height: 30px;
  background: #f5f5f5;
  float: left;
  margin: 10px;
  text-align: center;
  padding-top: 10px
}
ul li.middleviewport {
  background: red;
}
