You can use a single load more button on your webpage to paginate the list of records. This type of pagination is very common on the website or in mobile apps. The user needs to click on the load more button whenever the need to view more items.
The Element. 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.
append(html); $('#more'). text('Load More Project'); //add text "Load More Post" to button again if(!html){ $('#more'). text('No more Project to load'); // when last record add text "No more posts to load" to button. } } }); }); });
In jQuery, check whether you have hit the bottom of page using scroll function. Once you hit that, make an ajax call (you can show a loading image here till ajax response) and get the next set of data, append it to the div. This function gets executed as you scroll down the page again.
$(window).scroll(function() {
if($(window).scrollTop() == $(document).height() - $(window).height()) {
// ajax call get data from server and append to the div
}
});
Have you heard about the jQuery Waypoint plugin.
Below is the simple way of calling a waypoints plugin and having the page load more Content once you reaches the bottom on scroll :
$(document).ready(function() {
var $loading = $("<div class='loading'><p>Loading more items…</p></div>"),
$footer = $('footer'),
opts = {
offset: '100%'
};
$footer.waypoint(function(event, direction) {
$footer.waypoint('remove');
$('body').append($loading);
$.get($('.more a').attr('href'), function(data) {
var $data = $(data);
$('#container').append($data.find('.article'));
$loading.detach();
$('.more').replaceWith($data.find('.more'));
$footer.waypoint(opts);
});
}, opts);
});
Here is an example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Demo: Lazy Loader</title>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.2.1.min.js"></script>
<style>
#myScroll {
border: 1px solid #999;
}
p {
border: 1px solid #ccc;
padding: 50px;
text-align: center;
}
.loading {
color: red;
}
.dynamic {
background-color:#ccc;
color:#000;
}
</style>
<script>
var counter=0;
$(window).scroll(function () {
if ($(window).scrollTop() == $(document).height() - $(window).height() && counter < 2) {
appendData();
}
});
function appendData() {
var html = '';
for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
html += '<p class="dynamic">Dynamic Data : This is test data.<br />Next line.</p>';
}
$('#myScroll').append(html);
counter++;
if(counter==2)
$('#myScroll').append('<button id="uniqueButton" style="margin-left: 50%; background-color: powderblue;">Click</button><br /><br />');
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="myScroll">

If not all of your document scrolls, say, when you have a scrolling div
within the document, then the above solutions won't work without adaptations. Here's how to check whether the div's scrollbar has hit the bottom:
$('#someScrollingDiv').on('scroll', function() {
let div = $(this).get(0);
if(div.scrollTop + div.clientHeight >= div.scrollHeight) {
// do the lazy loading here
}
});
The accepted answer of this question has some issue with chrome when the window is zoomed in to a value >100%. Here is the code recommended by chrome developers as part of a bug i had raised on the same.
$(window).scroll(function() {
if($(window).scrollTop() + $(window).height() >= $(document).height()){
//Your code here
}
});
For reference:

Improving on @deepakssn answer. There is a possibility that you want the data to load a bit before we actually scroll to the bottom.
var scrollLoad = true;
$(window).scroll(function(){
if (scrollLoad && ($(document).height() - $(window).height())-$(window).scrollTop()<=800){
// fetch data when we are 800px above the document end
scrollLoad = false;
}
});
[var scrollLoad] is used to block the call until one new data is appended.
Hope this helps.
