How can I detect scroll end of the specified element by JavaScript?

Question

I'm using Google Chrome 10 and writing JavaScript to detect scroll end.

To detect scroll end of window, the code below worked fine:

window.addEventListener(
    'scroll',
    function()
    {
        var scrollTop = document.documentElement.scrollTop ||
            document.body.scrollTop;
        var offerHeight = document.body.offsetHeight;
        var clientHeight = document.documentElement.clientHeight;
        if (offsetHeight <= scrollTop + clientHeight)
        {
            // Scroll end detected
        }
    },
    false
);

Now I want to detect scroll end of the specified element, like <section id="box" style="height: 500px; overflow: auto;">
This is the code that doesn't detect correctly:

document.getElementById('box').addEventListener(
    'scroll',
    function()
    {
        var scrollTop = document.getElementById('box').scrollTop;
        var offerHeight = document.getElementById('box').offsetHeight;
        var clientHeight = document.getElementById('box').clientHeight;
        if (offsetHeight <= scrollTop + clientHeight)
        {
            // This is called before scroll end!
        }
    },
    false
);

Could someone please fix my code? Thanks.

Solution

Fixed.

document.getElementById('box').addEventListener(
    'scroll',
    function()
    {
        var scrollTop = document.getElementById('box').scrollTop;
        var scrollHeight = document.getElementById('box').scrollHeight; // added
        var offsetHeight = document.getElementById('box').offsetHeight;
        // var clientHeight = document.getElementById('box').clientHeight;
        var contentHeight = scrollHeight - offsetHeight; // added
        if (contentHeight <= scrollTop) // modified
        {
            // Now this is called when scroll end!
        }
    },
    false
)
