This script tracks the movement of a scrollbar. The variable currentPosition
keeps track of how many pixels the scrollbar has been moved downwards, starting at zero initially as the scrollbar is at the top position.
When scrolling occurs, currentScrollPos
records the current position of the scrollbar and then compares this value with the previous one:
If the current position is greater than the saved position, it means the scrollbar has scrolled downwards, so the moveCounter
is incremented by 1. Conversely, if currentScrollPos
is less than currentPosition
, the moveCounter
is decremented by 1.
To ensure the functionality of the code, we update the current position to be compared with for subsequent scroll events.
