I have been battling like crazy with a javascript that allows for infinite scrolling in Tumblr. Call me a newbie but this feels like an old nasty dinosaur compared to what i'm used to with jQuery.
My attempts to make this script talk with my jQuery functions or to recognise DOM elements on the page has proved utterly useless. Since this is the only known working infinite scroll script for tumblr out there, i have to live with it.
I now want to add a spinner that appears when it's loading new content, and hide the spinner when it's not. And also, change the preloader to an "end of posts" message once we reached the end.
Below is the entire script, I'd love if someone could show me how to refer to DOM elements and or .classes and #ids in this page http://syndex.me
Edit: Please not on the site you'll see a preloader but this isn't 'smart' it's just a div tied to the end of the page.
