Older IE and Firefox browsers attach the scrollbar to the documentElement  or what would be the  lt html gt  tag in HTML   All other browsers attach the scrollbar to document body  or what would be the  lt body gt  tag in HTML   The correct solution would be to check which one to use  depending on browser  var doc   document documentElement clientHeight   document documentElement   document body  var s       doc  scrollTop      jQuery does make this a little easier  when passing in either window or document jQuery s scrollTop does a similar check and figures it out  so either of these should work cross-browser  var s     document  scrollTop      or   var s     window  scrollTop      jQuery scrollTop   docs      Description  Get the current vertical position of the scroll bar for   the first element in the set of matched elements or set the vertical   position of the scroll bar for every matched element            nothing that works for my div  just the full page   If it s for a DIV  you d have to target the element that has the scrollbar attached  to get the scrolled amount     div   scrollTop      If you need to get the elements distance from the top of the document  you can also do     div   offset   top
