Capture scroll event on div

Question

I\'m trying to capture the scroll event within a Backbone.Marionette.CompositeView, but without success.

As an exercise, I\'m rewriting http://www.atinux.fr/backbone

Answer 1

Backbone attaches to the top el element to look for all events. Some DOM events are not bubbled to parent elements and this includes scroll. The click event worked because it does bubble.
