detect distance scrolled from top jquery

Viewed 78922

How can I detect the number of pixels scrolled in a browser window? I need this to dynamically adjust the height of a 100% height div...

I'm using jQuery.

EDIT: I cannot just use scrollTop() because I'm working with a 100% height div with overflow set to auto. Firefox does not detect browser scrolling due to this, the only thing scrolling is a 100%x100% div...

use $(document).scrollTop() :

$(document).scroll(function() {
    console.log($(document).scrollTop());
})

Allright guys, I found it:

$("div#container").scroll(function() {
         var screenheight = parseInt($(document).height());
         var scrolledpx = parseInt($("div#container").scrollTop());     
         var sum = screenheight+scrolledpx;
         console.log($("div#container").scrollTop());
         console.log("screen: " + screenheight);
         console.log("sum=" + sum);
         $("div.content").height(sum);
})
$(document).ready(()=> {
  $(window).scroll(function() {
    console.log($(window).scrollTop());
  })
}
