scrollparent

A function to get the scrolling parent of a html element.

Install

1npm install scrollparent --save

Example

1var Scrollparent = require("scrollparent");
2
3Scrollparent(document.getElementById("content")) // HTMLHtmlElement or HTMLBodyElement as appropriate

1var Scrollparent = require("scrollparent");
2
3Scrollparent(document.getElementById("inside-a-scrolling-div")) // HTMLDivElement

Note about the root scrolling element

Internally, the root scrolling element is determined in this library as the result of

1document.scrollingElement || document.documentElement;

This should give a usable result in most browsers today but if you want to ensure full support you should use a document.scrollingElement polyfill such as this one.
