How do I get the amount of scroll in a div tag using JavaScript? Please provide me with an example.
I don't want to use jQuery, only JavaScript.

Try this code snippet
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function scrollPos() {
var div = document.getElementById("myDiv").scrollTop;
document.getElementById("pos").innerHTML = div;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1">
<div id="pos">
</div>
<div id="myDiv" style="overflow: auto; height: 200px; width: 200px;" onscroll="scrollPos();">
Place some large content here
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
you use the scrollTop attribute
var position = document.getElementById('id').scrollTop;

If you are navigating in a horizontal scroll bar scrollLeft might be the property you need.
ReferenceError: invalid assignment left-hand side.Seriously though, it's not accurate to say that - jQuery is a JavaScript library; the two are thus quite different.
