Detect when window vertical scrollbar appears_问答_开发者

Is there a simple and reliable solution for detecting window vertical scrollbar appears/disappears?

window.onresize isn't triggered when after JavaScript DOM manipulation page becomes high enough for appearing scrollbar.

In this very similar post Detect if a page has a vertical scrollbar described solution how to detect whether scrollbar is present or not, but I need to kno开发者_Python百科w when exactly it appears.

Sorry to bring this back from the dead but I have just run in to this limitation and came up with my own solution. It's a bit hacky but stick with me ...

The idea is to add a 100% width invisible iframe to the page and listen for resize events on it's internal window. These events will pick up changes not only to the outer window's size but also when scrollbars get added to or removed from the outer window.

It triggers a regular window resize event so it requires no extra code if you are already listening for window resize.

Tested in IE9 and Chrome/Firefox latest - could maybe be made to work in older IEs but my project doesn't support those so I haven't tried.

Based on OrganicPanda's answer, came up with this jquery thing

$('<iframe id="scrollbar-listener"/>').css({
    'position'      : 'fixed',
'width'         : '100%',
'height'        : 0, 
'bottom'        : 0,
'border'        : 0,
'background-color'  : 'transparent'
}).on('load',function() {
    var vsb     = (document.body.scrollHeight > document.body.clientHeight);
    var timer   = null;
    this.contentWindow.addEventListener('resize', function() {
        clearTimeout(timer);
        timer = setTimeout(function() {
            var vsbnew = (document.body.scrollHeight > document.body.clientHeight);
            if (vsbnew) {
                if (!vsb) {
                    $(top.window).trigger('scrollbar',[true]);
                    vsb=true;
                }
            } else {
                if (vsb) {
                    $(top.window).trigger('scrollbar',[false]);
                    vsb=false;
                }
            }
        }, 100);
    });
}).appendTo('body');

This will trigger 'scrollbar' events on the window, if they appear/dissapear

Works on chrome/mac, at least. now, someone extend this to detect horizontal scrollbars :-)

The Scoop

It is possible to detect changes in scrollbar visibility by using ResizeObserver to check for changes in the size of the element that may take scrollbars and changes in the size of its contents.

Rationale

I started implementing a solution with the <iframe> method but quickly found that having a complete implementation required breaking the separation of concerns among the views of my application. I have a parent view which needs to know when a child view acquires a vertical scrollbar. (I don't care about the horizontal scrollbar.) I have two situations that may affect the visibility of the vertical scrollbar:

The parent view is resized. This is under direct control of the user.
The child view's contents becomes bigger or smaller. This is under indirect control of the user. The child view is showing the results of a search. The quantity and type of results determine the size of the child view.

I found that if I used <iframe> I'd have to muck with the child view to support the parent's needs. I prefer the child to not contain code for something which is purely a concern of the parent. With the solution I describe here, only the parent view needed to be modified.

So in looking for a better solution, I found this answer by Daniel Herr. He suggests using ResizeObserver to detect when a div's dimensions change. ResizeObserver is not yet available natively across browsers but there is a robust ponyfill/polyfill that I use for support in cases where native support is not available. (Here is the spec for ResizeObserver.)

Proof-of-Concept

I use this polyfill in its ponyfill mode. That way, the global environment remains untouched. This implementation relies on window.requestAnimationFrame, and will fall back on setTimeout for platforms that don't support window.requestAnimationFrame. Looking at the support for requestAnimationFrame on "Can I use...?", what I see there does not bother me. YMMV.

I have a live proof-of-concept. The key is to listen to changes in size on the DOM element that can accept scroll bars (the element with id container, in green) and listen to changes in size on the content that may need scrolling (the element with id content). The proof-of-concept uses interact.js to manage a resizer element (with id resizer, in blue) that allows resizing container. If you drag the bottom right corner of resizer, it will resize both resizer and container. The two buttons allow simulating changes in the size of the contents displayed by container.

I'm using this method in code that is currently at a pre-release stage, meaning it passed tests on multiple browsers, and is being evaluated by stakeholders, but is not yet in production.

The HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<head>
  <script data-require="interact.js@*" data-semver="1.0.26" src="//rawgit.com/taye/interact.js/v1.0.26/interact.js"></script>
  <script src="//rawgit.com/que-etc/resize-observer-polyfill/master/dist/ResizeObserver.global.js"></script>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
</head>

<body>
  <div id="resizer">
    <div id="container">
      <ul id="content">
        <li>Something</li>
      </ul>
    </div>
  </div>
  <button id="add">Add to content</button>
  <button id="remove">Remove from content</button>
  <p>Scroll bar is: <span id="visibility"></span></p>
  <ul id="event-log"></ul>
  <script src="script.js"></script>
</body>

</html>

The JavaScript:

var container = document.getElementById("container");
var resizer = document.getElementById("resizer");
interact(resizer)
  .resizable({
    restrict: {
      restriction: {
        left: 0,
        top: 0,
        right: window.innerWidth - 10,
        bottom: window.innerHeight - 10
      }
    }
  })
  .on('resizemove', function(event) {
    var target = resizer;

    var rect = target.getBoundingClientRect();

    var width = rect.width + event.dx;
    var height = rect.height + event.dy;
    target.style.width = width + 'px';
    target.style.height = height + 'px';
  });

var content = document.getElementById("content");
var add = document.getElementById("add");
add.addEventListener("click", function() {
  content.insertAdjacentHTML("beforeend", "<li>Foo</li>");
});

var remove = document.getElementById("remove");
remove.addEventListener("click", function() {
  content.removeChild(content.lastChild);
});

// Here is the code that pertains to the scrollbar visibility

var log = document.getElementById("event-log");
content.addEventListener("scrollbar", function () {
  log.insertAdjacentHTML("beforeend", "<li>Scrollbar changed!</li>");
});

var visiblity = document.getElementById("visibility");
var previouslyVisible;
function refreshVisibility() {
  var visible = container.scrollHeight > container.clientHeight;
  visibility.textContent = visible ? "visible" : "not visible";
  if (visible !== previouslyVisible) {
    content.dispatchEvent(new Event("scrollbar"));
  }
  previouslyVisible = visible;
}
// refreshVisibility();


var ro = new ResizeObserver(refreshVisibility);
ro.observe(container);
ro.observe(content);

The CSS:

* {
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

#container {
  position: relative;
  top: 10%;
  left: 10%;
  height: 80%;
  width: 80%;
  background: green;
  overflow: auto;
}

#resizer {
  background: blue;
  height: 200px;
  width: 200px;
}

If you're using AngularJS, you can use a directive to detect when the width changes (assuming the appearing/disappearing scrollbar is a vertical one):

app.directive('verticalScroll', function($rootScope){
    return {
        restrict: 'A',
        link: function (scope, element) {
            scope.$watch(
                function() {
                    return element[0].clientWidth;
                },
                function() {
                    $rootScope.$emit('resize');
                }
            );
        }
    }
});

This fires an event on the root scope which other directives or controllers can listen for.

The watch is fired by the angular digest loop, so this relies on Angular having loaded/removed the extra content which has caused your scrollbar to appear/disappear.

Dynamically Detect Browser Vertical Scrollbar Event by comparing window.innerWidth to getBoundingClientRect() of a DIV element using Javascript. Tested with latest IE FF Chrome. See documentation here

It's all about when you need to determine the scrollbar's visibility.

The OP speaks of a time "after JavaScript DOM manipulation". If that manipulation happens in your code, then that's the time for checking if the scrollbar is visible. Why do you need an event in addition to that? How is it that you don't know when this DOM manipulation occurs?

I realize this is an old question, but I'm just now dealing with this in a pure javascript project, and I have no issue knowing when to check for scrollbar visibility. Either a user event fires, or a system event fires, and I know when the DOM manipulation occurs because I'm causing it via javascript. I don't see a case where that javascript DOM manipulation is outside of my code's awareness.

Maybe a scrollbarVisibilityChange event would be convenient, but it's certainly not necessary. This strikes me as a non-issue, 9 years later. Am I missing something?

If you only need to detect the scroll appearance on Windows browsers (except IE), here's my solution with Resize Observer API for vertical scroll as an example.

Idea

Append <div> with position: fixed to <body>
Make it 100% width and observe for size changes
The appearance of the scroll reduces the <div>'s width, which in turn calls the observer callback.

Why only Windows browsers?

Mobile and macOS browsers have a disappearing scroll that is taken out of the document flow and doesn't affect the page layout.

Why should the position be `fixed` and not `absolute`?

Element with position: fixed is positioned relative to the initial containing block established by the viewport.

position: absolute may fail if the <body> is also absolutely positioned and has a different width than the viewport.

const innerWidthFiller = document.createElement('div')
innerWidthFiller.style.cssText = 'position: fixed; left: 0; right: 0'
document.body.appendChild(innerWidthFiller)

const detectScroll = () => {
  const {clientHeight, scrollHeight} = document.documentElement
  window.result.value = scrollHeight > clientHeight
}

const resizeObserver = new ResizeObserver(detectScroll)
resizeObserver.observe(innerWidthFiller)

#test {
  border: 1px solid;
  white-space: nowrap;
}

output {
  font-weight: bold;
}

<button onclick="test.style.fontSize='100vh'">Enlarge the text</button>
<button onclick="test.style.fontSize=''">Reset</button>
Page scroll state: <output id="result"></output>

<hr>

<span id="test">Test element</span>
