Choosing jQuery by position on page?

Question

Is there a selector in jQuery to select elements that have a specific page position, for example, all elements that have an offsetTop greater than, say, 100px?

I tried:

$('span[offsetTop>100]') 

since we can check whether the attribute matches a certain value, I thought that we can check if the attribute exceeds a certain value. This, however, does not work. Is this even possible?

Answer 1

You will need to use the filter() ^(docs) method to filter() <span> elements by their offset:

 $('span').filter(function() { return $(this).offset().top > 100; });
