Question

Okay I\'m using jQuery and currently getting max value of scrollbar doing this:

var $body = $(\'body\');
$body.scrollLeft(99999); // will give me the max val         


        

Answer 1

Jquery (>1.9.1): The maximum value scrollLeft can be is:

$('#elemID').prop("scrollWidth") - $('#elemID').width();
