How do I get pageYoffset on a mobile browser

Question

I need to keep track of the page offset on a website.

var supportPageOffset = window.pageXOffset !== undefined;
var isCSS1Compat = ((document.compatMode || "") === "CSS1Compat");
var Y = supportPageOffset ? window.pageYOffset : isCSS1Compat ? document.documentElement.scrollTop : document.body.scrollTop;

Using the above code returns the vertical offset for me on all desktop browsers. However, I only get 0 on mobile browsers. How can I get the scroll location on mobile?

Answer 1

I guess this might help you:

Demo : Fiddle

JQuery

$(window).scroll(function (event) {
    var scroll = $(window).scrollTop(); // This would give you offsetY while you scroll
    $(".scrollY").text(scroll); // This is just to display for instance.
});

Open in Mobile

Update

JavaScript

window.addEventListener('scroll', function(){
 var scrollTop = (window.pageYOffset !== undefined) ? window.pageYOffset : (document.documentElement || document.body.parentNode || document.body).scrollTop;
  
  document.getElementsByClassName("scrollY")[0].innerHTML = scrollTop;
  
}, true)

.scrollY
{
    position:fixed;
    top:0px;
    left:0px;
    padding:10px;
    display:block;
    width:auto;
    height:auto;
    background:red;
    color:yellow;
}
.title h1
{
    text-align:center;
}

div
{
    display:block;
    width:90%;
    background:#2b2937;
    color:#eee;
    padding:10px;
    margin:10px 0px;
    border-radius:10px;
}

<div class="scrollY"> </div>
