How to get scrollTop of page afer browser scrolled such page?
- by Marco Demaio
I know how to get the scrollTop of a page, I use this simple JS function (code copied around):
function GetScrolledTop()
{
//I never work in IE quirkmode, I always use DOCTYPE as 1st line, so I don't need to test for document.body.scrollTop
return self['pageYOffset'] || document.documentElement.scrollTop;
}
This works and my problem is the following: I tried to add it in the page onload event
<body onload="alert(GetScrolledTop());">
On page load I get ZERO (which make sense), but the problem is that I get ZERO even if I scroll the page and then reload it without touching the scrollbar.
It seems like the browser does:
loads page
calls my GetScrolledTop() (so obviously shows ZERO)
then scrolls the page to where it was before.
Do you know how to get the scolledTop after the step 3?
I mean how to get the scrolledTop AFTER the browser scrolled the page?
(maybe without using a timer)
Thanks!
