Get scroll position in Javascript

I would like to retrieve the current scroll position in Javascript, after some research I found this: window.scrollY and window.scollTop.

But the problem is that it does not work 100% on all browsers, is there something more reliable?

For cross-browser compatibility, use window.pageYOffset

The solution for JavaScript is:

var scrollPos = window.scrollY || window.scrollTop || document.getElementsByTagName("html")[0].scrollTop;

Or if you use jQuery (this is more reliable, due cross-browser support):

var scrollPos = $(window).scrollTop();
