I've done a bit more research and found the following link, which I think is related: http://www.pithill.org/opera9.5_jquerybug.html. The source code for that web page implies that for Opera 9.5, the value of $(window).height() should be set to the value of window.innerHeight.
Also, sorry about the mess in the previous post. I've tried to reformat the table, below. (Is there any sort of monospaced font option in Google Groups? Are we stuck with the 40 column, or so, wrap- around?) ---------------- Original Post reformatted ---------------- To determine if the document's vertical scroll bar is at the "bottom" of its travel, I've seen this calculation: delta = $(document).height() - $(window).height(); scrollTopIsAtMax = ($(window).scrollTop() == delta); As the document's scroll bar is scrolled down, the value of $ (window.scrollTop()) increases until it equals the value of delta, signifying the scrollbar is at the bottom end of its travel. Using jquery-nightly.js for June 28/08 with the DOCTYPE in strict mode I get the following when the scrollbar is at the bottom of its travel (all windows maximized): jQuery browser info msie7.0 $(document).height() 1170 $(window).height() 626 delta 544 $(window).scrollTop() 544 scrollTopIsAtMax true jQuery browser info mozilla1.9 (FFox 3.0) $(document).height() 1015 $(window).height() 583 delta 432 $(window).scrollTop() 432 scrollTopIsAtMax true jQuery browser info safari525.19 $(document).height() 1006 $(window).height() 634 delta 372 $(window).scrollTop() 372 scrollTopIsAtMax true jQuery browser info opera9.50 $(document).height() 896 $(window).height() 880 delta 16 $(window).scrollTop() 237 scrollTopIsAtMax false As you can see, this algorithm doesn't work for Opera. Is there a more jQueryesq way to determine when the scrollbar is at its end? Thanks, Bill
