Capturing the “scroll down” event?

Question

I\'m designing a very simple web page (HTML only), the only \"feature\" I want to implement is to do something when the user scrolls down the page, is there a way to capture

Answer 1

A better way is to not only check for scroll events but also for direction scrolling like below;

$(window).bind('mousewheel', function(event) {
if (event.originalEvent.wheelDelta >= 0) {
    console.log('Scroll up');
}
else {
    console.log('Scroll down');
}
});
