Scroll Menu

Jan 05.2004

I need to know how to get the property of the window that tells me where it currently is scrolled to. That way I can set the top and left a of div tag so it is always visible.

If I can just get the value of the windows (frames) position after scrolling I would be happy

document.body.offsetleft always returns 0

although
document.body.offsetHeight does return the proper value.

What am I missing?

IE5.5

@FangJan 05.2004 — This gives the offsets:
// Scroll offset:
if (window.pageYOffset)
Ypos=window.pageYOffset;
else if (document.documentElement && document.documentElement.scrollTop)
Ypos=document.documentElement.scrollTop;
else if (document.body)
Ypos=document.body.scrollTop;

if (window.pageXOffset)
Xpos=window.pageXOffset;
else if (document.documentElement && document.documentElement.scrollLeft)
Xpos=document.documentElement.scrollLeft;
else if (document.body)
Xpos=document.body.scrollLeft;

window.status=Xpos+":"+Ypos;

Any tips on making it fire this function on the user scrolling?

I will try to find answer on my own but if your not busy.
