Listening to all scroll events on a page

Question

Background:

I\'m writing a component that opens up a sub-menu on click. I can\'t know where this component will be placed on the page or how far it will

Answer 1

You need to see whether scroll is happening to window level or to an element level. Usually in your case '*' should suffice.

$('*').scroll(function() {
    alert('scroll');
});
