According to the first answer to the question at Stackoverflow, it can be known when element.innerHeight + element.scrollTop is greater than or equal to element.offsetHeight. Shouldn’t it be element.innerHeight + element.scrollTop is greater than or equal to element.scrollHeight? offsetHeight just includes the padding while calculating the visible height, what we want here is to find whether the scrolled height plus the visible height equals the total height, isn’t the total height given by scrollHeight?

    > document.body.offsetHeight === document.body.scrollHeight
