Window: scrollMaxY property

View on MDN ↗

The Window.scrollMaxY read-only property returns the maximum number of pixels that the document can be scrolled vertically.

Value

A number.

Examples

// Scroll to the bottom of the page
let maxY = window.scrollMaxY;

window.scrollTo(0, maxY);

Notes

Do not use this property to get the total document height, which is not equivalent to innerHeight + window.scrollMaxY, because innerHeight includes the width of any visible horizontal scrollbar, thus the result would exceed the total document height by the width of any visible horizontal scrollbar. Instead use document.body.scrollHeight. See also scrollMaxX and scrollTo.
