Can't delegate scroll event using jQuery

Question

I\'m trying to use jQuery to fire an event on scroll on a particular class of elements, like so:

$(\'body\').on(\'scroll\', \'.overflow\', function() { do stuff;         


        

Answer 1

According to W3, the scroll event doesn't bubble.

Since event delegation relies on the event bubbling to the element you've attached the handler to, you won't be able to use delegation.
