Hi Pete,
First of all, thanks for replying.
loadEntries() will always return 20 results each time. I can't make it
return 20 results one time and 23 results the next time. Basically I want to
call it enough times to fill the whole page with entries so that the scroll
bar shows up. So for a larger screen I would need to call loadEntries() a
few more times than for a smaller screen. How many times loadEntries() is
called depends on screen size.
Basically the goal is to get the scroll bar to show up so that when the user
scrolls my onScroll function is called. Without the scrollbar the onScroll
function doesn't get called and more entries don't load.
Obviously the number of entries loaded onPageLoad can't be static due to
varying user screen sizes.
Basically I was trying to do the following in setup():
start = 0;
getMaxEntries();
var docHeight = document.body.clientHeight;
while(docHeight < window.innerHeight) {
if(start > 0) {
loadEntries();
docHeight += 500;
}
}
Note: getMaxEntries() sets the value of start. So when getMaxEntries() is
called start will hold the number for the total amount of entries.
But the problem is that the above code gives me a unresponsive script error.
