jQuery scroll() detect when user stops scrolling

Question

Ok with this..

$(window).scroll(function()
{
    $(\'.slides_layover\').removeClass(\'showing_layover\');
    $(\'#slides_effect\').show();
});

Answer 1

This detects the scroll stop after 1 milisecond (or change it) using a global timer:

var scrollTimer;

$(window).on("scroll",function(){
    clearTimeout(scrollTimer);
    //Do  what you want whilst scrolling
    scrollTimer=setTimeout(function(){afterScroll()},1);
})

function afterScroll(){
    //I catched scroll stop.
}
