Getting a div scroll position using javascript.

Question

I have one button in a div tag. That div tag also has a vertical scroll bar.

If I scroll that bar and click on the button which is inside that div, it should return the scroll position as an alert message.

How to do that using JavaScript?

You could do this pretty easily with jquery. Is that an option? — Matt, Sep 06 '11 at 07:41

The scrollTop property tells you the vertical scroll position:

document.getElementById("yourButton").onclick = function() {
   alert(document.getElementById("yourDiv").scrollTop); 
}
