Use jquery to make div appear after a user scrolls

Question

I'd like to have a div appear after a user scrolls down on a page, and disappears if they scroll back to the top.

I thought using the .scroll() function in jquery would be useful, but couldn't quite figure out how to make this happen.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Something like this should do the trick:

$(window).scroll(function() {
    if ($(this).scrollTop() == 0) {
        $("#mydiv:visible").hide();
    }
    else {
        $("#mydiv:hidden").show();
    }
});
