How can I determine the direction of a jQuery scroll event

0 votes

I'm looking for something to this effect:

$(window).scroll(function(event){
   if (/* magic code*/ ){
       // upscroll code
   } else {
      // downscroll code
   }
});

Any ideas?

Hello @kartik,

Check current scrollTop vs previous scrollTop

var lastScrollTop = 0;
$(window).scroll(function(event){
   var st = $(this).scrollTop();
   if (st > lastScrollTop){
       // downscroll code
   } else {
      // upscroll code
   }
   lastScrollTop = st;
});

Hope it helps!!
