How can I possibly figure out the distance from an object (div) to the right browser window border?

Simply use the formula d = |x2 - x1|. In this formula, you subtract x1 from x2, then take the absolute value of your answer to find the distance between x1 and x2. Typically, you'll want to use the one-dimensional distance formula when your two points lie on a number line or axis.
To get the distance from the top for an element with JavaScript, we get the sum of the window. pageYOffset property and the element's top value. const elDistanceToTop = window. pageYOffset + el.
You can use . offset() to get the offset compared to the document element and then use the scrollTop property of the window element to find how far down the page the user has scrolled: var scrollTop = $(window). scrollTop(), elementOffset = $('#my-element').
$(window).width() - ($('#your-element').offset().left + $('#your-element').width());
That takes the width of your element adds it to the position of the element within the document and takes it away from the whole window size which should leave you with the right hand distance between element and window.
