How to detect if browser window is scrolled to bottom?

Question

window.onscroll = function(ev) {
    if ((window.innerHeight + window.scrollY) >= document.body.offsetHeight) {
        // you're at the bottom of the page
    }
};

See demo

Updated code for all major browsers support (include IE10 & IE11)

window.onscroll = function(ev) {
    if ((window.innerHeight + window.pageYOffset) >= document.body.offsetHeight) {
        alert("you're at the bottom of the page");
    }
};

The problem with the current accepted answer is that window.scrollY is not available in IE.

Here is a quote from mdn regarding scrollY:

For cross-browser compatibility, use window.pageYOffset instead of window.scrollY.

And a working snippet:

window.onscroll = function(ev) {
    if ((window.innerHeight + window.pageYOffset ) >= document.body.offsetHeight) {
        alert("you're at the bottom of the page");
    }
};

Note for mac

Based on @Raphaël's comment, there was a problem in mac due to a small offset.
The following updated condition works:

(window.innerHeight + window.pageYOffset) >= document.body.offsetHeight - 2

I didn't have the chance to test it further, if someone can comment about this specific issue it will be great.

The accepted answer did not work for me. This did:

window.onscroll = function(ev) {
    if ((window.innerHeight + window.scrollY) >= document.body.scrollHeight) {
      // you're at the bottom of the page
      console.log("Bottom of page");
    }
};

If you're looking to support older browsers (IE9) use the alias window.pageYOffset which has slightly better support.

I was searching for an answer but haven't found an exact one. Here is a pure javascript solution that works with latest Firefox, IE and Chrome at the time of this answer:

// document.body.scrollTop alone should do the job but that actually works only in case of Chrome.
// With IE and Firefox it also works sometimes (seemingly with very simple pages where you have
// only a <pre> or something like that) but I don't know when. This hack seems to work always.
var scrollTop = (document.documentElement && document.documentElement.scrollTop) || document.body.scrollTop;

// Grodriguez's fix for scrollHeight:
// accounting for cases where html/body are set to height:100%
var scrollHeight = (document.documentElement && document.documentElement.scrollHeight) || document.body.scrollHeight;

// >= is needed because if the horizontal scrollbar is visible then window.innerHeight includes
// it and in that case the left side of the equation is somewhat greater.
var scrolledToBottom = (scrollTop + window.innerHeight) >= scrollHeight;

// As a bonus: how to scroll to the bottom programmatically by keeping the horizontal scrollpos:
// Since window.innerHeight includes the height of the horizontal scrollbar when it is visible
// the correct vertical scrollTop would be
// scrollHeight-window.innerHeight+sizeof(horizontal_scrollbar)
// Since we don't know the visibility/size of the horizontal scrollbar
// we scroll to scrollHeight that exceeds the value of the
// desired scrollTop but it seems to scroll to the bottom with all browsers
// without problems even when the horizontal scrollbar is visible.
var scrollLeft = (document.documentElement && document.documentElement.scrollLeft) || document.body.scrollLeft;
window.scrollTo(scrollLeft, scrollHeight);

This works

window.onscroll = function() {

    // @var int totalPageHeight
    var totalPageHeight = document.body.scrollHeight; 

    // @var int scrollPoint
    var scrollPoint = window.scrollY + window.innerHeight;

    // check if we hit the bottom of the page
    if(scrollPoint >= totalPageHeight)
    {
        console.log("at the bottom");
    }
}

If you're looking to support older browsers (IE9) replace window.scrollY with window.pageYOffset

If you're setting height: 100% on some container <div id="wrapper">, then the following code works (tested in Chrome):

var wrapper = document.getElementById('wrapper');

wrapper.onscroll = function (evt) {
  if (wrapper.scrollTop + window.innerHeight >= wrapper.scrollHeight) {
    console.log('reached bottom!');
  }
}

window.onscroll = function(ev) {
    if ((window.innerHeight + Math.ceil(window.pageYOffset)) >= document.body.offsetHeight) {
        alert("you're at the bottom of the page");
    }
};

This Answer will fix edge cases, this is because pageYOffset is double while innerHeight and offsetHeight are long, so when the browser gives you the info, you may be a pixel short. For example: on bottom of the page we have

true window.innerHeight = 10.2

true window.pageYOffset = 5.4

true document.body.offsetHeight = 15.6

Our calculation then becomes: 10 + 5.4 >= 16 which is false

To fix this we can do Math.ceil on the pageYOffset value.

Hope that helps.
