Jquery Waypoint with nested div not working

javascript, jquery, jquery-waypoints

Solution

The plugin documentation suggests that the default "viewport" (as it calls it) is the `window` object:

$.fn.waypoint.defaults = {
  context: window,
  ...

JSFiddle, however, pads the parent `iframe`; that's why you never technically "align" your waypoint with the viewport (`window`). Add a custom context in your waypoint's options, e.g.:

context: $("#waypoint").parent()

Problem

Here is the Fiddle I'm trying to get Waypoint working in a nested div but unable to do so. I've `outer div` with fixed height. Inside that div, I have an `inner div` and an `Waypoint div`. Please find below the code. Html ``` <div style="background:grey;height:300px;overflow:auto;"> <div style="height:900px;background:#F5F6CE;"></div> <div id="waypoint" style="background:#B45F04;">Waypoint</div> </div> ``` Script ``` $('#waypoint').waypoint(function() { console.log('Reached waypoint.'); }, { offset: 'bottom-in-view' }); ``` The text Reached waypoint. is never printed in the console. Any pointers.? Edit: Updated the Fiddle.
