I am wondering if there are any HTML5 events associated with whether or not an element has been viewed or "scrolled into view" by the user.
An example could be a longer page with elements at the bottom, which has yet to be scrolled into the users view...
I have seen jQuery solutions to this problem, however I am only interested in figuring out if weather or not this is achievable purely though the use of HTML5 events and JavaScript.
It should be noted that I have already had a look at the "onfocus" event, which (from it's official description) seems to only be applicable if the user selects or "clicks" somewhere on or within the element itself.
As already mentioned, there is no "event" but someone already wrote a method to "detect if a DOM Element is Truly Visible" (the title). It doesn't require JQuery. You might want to check for the value on several events like the document load, scroll or window resize.
