"The scrollend event fires once when scrolling definitively completes, whether triggered by user gestures, keyboard navigation, smooth scrolling, or programmatic JavaScript calls like scrollTo()."
"Previously, there was no native way to know when a scroll had truly ended. Developers were forced to guess using timer-based debouncing, typically with a setTimeout() delay of 100 milliseconds or more."
"Now, with native browser support, the same result is achieved cleanly: document.onscrollend = event => { // scrolling has definitively ended }."
"The event does not fire if the scroll position did not actually change, avoiding spurious triggers."
Safari version 26.2 added support for the scrollend event, marking a significant advancement in web platform capabilities. This event now has support across all major browsers, including Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. It allows developers to detect when scrolling has definitively finished without relying on unreliable workarounds. The scrollend event fires once scrolling completes, addressing a long-standing issue for developers. This native support simplifies code and improves reliability in detecting scroll completion, enhancing overall web development efficiency.
