Change Image Dynamically when User Scrolls using JavaScript | Set 1

There may be situations where the image would need to change dynamically based on the user’s input. In this case, when the user scrolls down.

Approach:

  • Setting up a scroll event listener to know the user has scrolled the page.
  • Calculating the pixels that have been scrolled up vertically by the user. It is accessed by using the scrollTop element.
    document.documentElement.scrollTop
  • Using that value to change the source of the image dynamically.

Example 1: In this example, we will change the source of the image whenever the page is scrolled 150 pixels vertically. The page consists of an image and a section for the text. They are styled through internal CSS.

The window.onscroll listener would call a function every timewhen the user scrolls. Then, the called function selects the image using document.getElementById("myImage") and changes the source path of the image whenever the scrolled pixels crosses 150px.

            position: fixed;
            width: 30%;
        }
  
        .main-content {
            padding-left: 35%;
            height: 1000px;
        }
  
        h1,
        h3 {
            color: green;
        }
    </style>
</head>
  
<body>
    <img src=
        alt="GeeksforGeeks Logo" id="myImage">
  
    <div class="main-content">
        <h1>GeeksforGeeks</h1>
        <h3>First Image Section</h3>
        <p>
            Scroll past the below line 
            to see the change
        </p>
        <hr>
        <h3>Second Image Section</h3>
        <p>
            Scroll back up to see 
            the original image
        </p>
    </div>
  
    <script>
        window.onscroll = function () {
            scrollFunction();
        };
  
        function scrollFunction() {
            var image = document.getElementById("myImage");
            if (document.documentElement.scrollTop > 150)
                image.src = 
            else
                image.src = 
        }
    </script>
</body>
  
</html>


Output:

Example 2: In this example, we will change the arrangement of the images dynamically depending on how much the user has scrolled down. The page consists of four images given a sticky position at the bottom of the page.

The function called by the scroll listener shuffles the source of the image dynamically. This gives us a spinning look for the images.
