Calculate the distance to the bottom of a page |
The following snippet calculates how far you are from the bottom of the page.
Here's how it works: it takes the total height of the page (document.body.scrollHeight), subtracts the height of your screen (window.innerHeight), and then subtracts how far down you've already scrolled (window.scrollY).
The result is the distance from your current position to the bottom of the page.
JavaScript version
const distanceToBottom = document.body.scrollHeight - window.innerHeight - window.scrollY;TypeScript version
const distanceToBottom: number = document.body.scrollHeight - window.innerHeight - window.scrollY;
