I am trying to process some code based on the 'document.documentElement.scrollTop' value. It returns '348' in FF and IE but in Chrome it returns '0'. Do i need to do anything to overcome this issue?
FF:
>>> document.documentElement.scrollTop 342 Chrome:
document.documentElement.scrollTop 0 
440
scrollTop is deprecated in strict mode.
scrollTop property gets or sets the number of pixels that an element's content is scrolled vertically. An element's scrollTop value is a measurement of the distance from the element's top to its topmost visible content. When an element's content does not generate a vertical scrollbar, then its scrollTop value is 0 .
documentElement returns the Element that is the root element of the document (for example, the <html> element for HTML documents).
The standards-based way of getting the scroll is window.scrollY. This is supported by Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari and IE Edge or later. If you only support these browsers, you should go with this property.
IE >= 9 supports a similar property window.pageYOffset, which for the sake of compatibility returns the same as window.scrollY in recent browsers, though it may perhaps be deprecated at some point.
The problem with using document.documentElement.scrollTop or document.body.scrollTop is that the scroll needn't be defined on either of these. Chrome and Safari define their scroll on the <body> element whilst Firefox defines it on the <html> element returned by document.documentElement, for example. This is not standardized, and could potentially change in future versions of the browsers. However, if the scrollY or pageYOffset are not present, this is the only way to get the scroll.
TL;DR:
window.scrollY || window.pageYOffset || document.body.scrollTop + (document.documentElement && document.documentElement.scrollTop || 0)
84
Try this
window.pageYOffset || document.documentElement.scrollTop If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
