Window pageXOffset and pageYOffset Properties

Window Object

Definition and Usage

The pageXOffset and pageYOffset properties returns the pixels the current document has been scrolled from the upper left corner of the window, horizontally and vertically.

Syntax

window.pageXOffset
window.pageYOffset

Browser Support

The pageXOffset and pageYOffset properties are supported in all major browsers.

Note: IE 8 and earlier does not support this property, but may use "document.body.scrollLeft" and "document.body.scrollTop" instead.

Example

Scroll the content by 100 pixels, and alert the pageXOffset and pageYOffset:

<html>
<head>
<script>
function scrollWindow()
 {
 window.scrollBy(100,100)
alert("pageXOffset: " + window.pageXOffset + ", pageYOffset: " + window.pageYOffset)
 }
</script>
</head>
<body>

<input type="button" onclick="scrollWindow()" value="Scroll">
SCROLL SCROLL SCROLL SCROLL SCROLL SCROLL SCROLL SCROLL
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
SCROLL SCROLL SCROLL SCROLL SCROLL SCROLL SCROLL SCROLL
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
SCROLL SCROLL SCROLL SCROLL SCROLL SCROLL SCROLL SCROLL

</body>
</html>
