$(window).scroll() firing on page load

Question

Is there a way to prevent $(window).scroll() from firing on page load?

Testing the following code in Firefox 4, it fires even when I unplug the mouse.<

Answer 1

The scroll event does not fire on every load, only when refreshing a page that was scrolled, or when navigating to an anchor directly.

Many of the answers suggest ignore the first time it's called, which would ignore a valid scroll if the page doesn't get scrolled initially.

//Scroll the page and then reload just the iframe (right click, reload frame)


//Timeout of 1 was not reliable, 10 seemed to be where I tested it, but again, this is not very elegant.
//This will not fire initially
setTimeout(function(){
  $(window).scroll(function(){
     console.log('delayed scroll handler');
  }); 
}, 10); 

//This will fire initially when reloading the page and re-establishing the scroll position
$(window).scroll(function(){
  console.log('regular scroll handler');
});

div {  
  height: 2000px;
  border: 1px solid red;
}
