- Use
scroll
event handler onwindow
- Loop over all the
li
elements to check if the element is in the interested viewport - Get the
li
position fromtop
and check if it is in the interested viewport section.
Demo:
Changed the height of li
for demo purpose.
See the comments inline in the code.
$(document).ready(function() {
// Get viewport height, gridTop and gridBottom
var windowHeight = $(window).height(),
gridTop = windowHeight * .3,
gridBottom = windowHeight * .6;
$(window).on('scroll', function() {
// On each scroll check if `li` is in interested viewport
$('ul li').each(function() {
var thisTop = $(this).offset().top - $(window).scrollTop(); // Get the `top` of this `li`
// Check if this element is in the interested viewport
if (thisTop >= gridTop && (thisTop + $(this).height()) <= gridBottom) {
$(this).css('background', 'red');
} else {
$(this).css('background', 'gray');
}
});
});
