jQuery: detecting reaching bottom of scroll doesn't work, only detects the top

Question

So basically my problem is a seemingly simple one.

You can see it in action at http://furnace.howcode.com (please note that data is returned via Ajax, so if nothing

Answer 1

I know this question is already solved, but a concern when using jQuery scrollTOp() function on element other than on $(window).scrollTop() or $(document).scrollTop() since some issue like

jQuery: detecting reaching bottom of scroll doesn't work, only detects the top

Explain why scrollTop() always returns 0 here

$(document).scrollTop() always returns 0

So you can use

$(window).scrollTop() - $('your_selector').offset().top 

instead of

$('your_selector').scrollTOp() 

to avoid the jQuery scrollTOp() issue.

My suggestion is as follows:

   $(window).scroll(function() {
       var $more = $('#col2');
       var top = $(window).scrollTop() - $more.offset().top;
       if(top + $more.innerHeight() >= $more[0].scrollHeight) {
          loadMore();
       }
   });
