How do you implement infinite scrolling?

Mid JQuery
Quick Answer Infinite scroll: listen to window scroll, check if near the bottom ($(window).scrollTop() + $(window).height() >= $(document).height() - 200), then $.get for more items and append. Throttle the scroll handler to fire at most every 100ms. Show a spinner while loading. Use IntersectionObserver on a sentinel element at the bottom - cleaner than scroll math.

Answer

Detect scroll position with scroll event.
Load additional content via AJAX when near bottom.
Use throttling/debouncing to reduce event firing.
Useful for feeds, galleries, or product listings.
