How can I determine if a div is scrolled to the bottom?

How do I determine, without using jQuery or any other JavaScript library, if a div with a vertical scrollbar is scrolled all the way to the bottom?

My question is not how to scroll to the bottom. I know how to do that. I want to determine if the the div is scrolled to the bottom already.

This does not work:

if (objDiv.scrollTop == objDiv.scrollHeight)

You're pretty close using scrollTop == scrollHeight.

scrollTop refers to the top of the scroll position, which will be scrollHeight - offsetHeight

Your if statement should look like so (don't forget to use triple equals):

if( obj.scrollTop === (obj.scrollHeight - obj.offsetHeight))
{
}

Edit: Corrected my answer, was completely wrong

function difference(first,sec){
  return Math.abs(first-sec);
}

document.getElementById("myDIV").addEventListener("scroll", function() {
  var diff = difference((this.scrollTop+this.clientHeight),(this.scrollHeight));
   
   if(diff < 5) {
      alert('Scroll Ends Here');
    }
});
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
#myDIV {
  height: 250px;
  width: 250px;
  overflow: none;
  overflow-y: auto;
}

#content {
  height: 800px;
  width: 2000px;
  background-color: coral;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

<p>Scroll inside the div element to display the number of pixels the content of div is scrolled horizontally and vertically.</p>

<div id="myDIV">
  <div id="content">Scroll inside me!</div>
</div>

<p id="demo"></p>

</body>

No JQuery or Javascript Library and it works well.

        <div class="div" style="width:200px; height:150px; overflow:auto;">

            <h1>Hello Friends</h1> 
            <h1>Hello Friends</h1> 
            <h1>Hello Friends</h1> 
        </div> 
    </center> 
    <script> 
        $('#data_center').text('Scroll till bottom to get alert!'); 
        jQuery(function($) { 
            $('.div').on('scroll', function() { 
                if ($(this).scrollTop() + $(this).innerHeight() >=  $(this)[0].scrollHeight) {                     
                    alert('End of DIV has reached!'); 
                } 
            }); 
        }); 
    </script> 
</body>

It works for me, i hope, this will also help you. Thanks.

This one works for me. Slightly a different approach.

if (list.scrollTop + list.clientHeight >= list.scrollHeight - 1) {
    return 'scrollOnTheBottom';
}
