Load Data From Server While Scrolling a Div to Bottom

I need to load data inside a div only when I reached near the bottom of the div through scroll.

The problem am facing is the $('div').scrollHeight() and the $('div').scrollTop() values are not same when it reaches the bottom, so I can't identify that the scroll reached the bottom or not.

How can I identify the div scroll have reached near the bottom(or may be bottom minus some length)?

Please advice...

Note: Basically am trying to do the same like in Facebook ticker.

Regards, Navin

I would suggest that you get the document height, and use that height as the length between the top of your page to the bottom. So :

var bottom = $(document).height() // == the bottom of your page

You can the minus that with the distance with the bottom, that you desire.

If( ( el.scrollTop() + el.outherHeight ) >= ( bottom - 200 ) ){
    // fetch new data

    // Don't forget to upate the bottom variable when data fetched and renderd
}

Hope this solved your problem, or at least helped you find your solution. If not, let me know

There's lots of scroller samples on the web the code below is from this one.

...
    if(container.scrollTop+container.clientHeight == container.scrollHeight){
                startRow = parseInt(startRow) + 10;
                getData();
    }
...

Hope that helps.

Heres a JSFiddle scroll it uses scrollTop + clientHeight to compare against scrollHeight. See if that works for you, sorry its in Mootools but it pretty straight forward.

function HandleScroll()
{
    var el = $("outer");
    if( (el.scrollTop + el.clientHeight) >= el.scrollHeight )
    {
        el.setStyles( { "background-color": "red"} );
    }
    else
    {
        el.setStyles( { "background-color": "white"} );
    }
}
