I need to know, whether a vertical scrollbar has appeared or not in browser window. Is it possible using jQuery or any other way?
A:
Compare the document height with the window height. If it's more there's probably a scrollbar unless you disabled it.

Wrong. The window height includes chrome elements like toolbars and menus.

Ah yes I actually meant to type viewport height, my bad.

A:
Like this:
if (document.documentElement.scrollHeight === document.documentElement.clientHeight) {
//There is no vertical scrollbar
}
This doesn't work in IE

And if you're looking to 'detect' this change, you might want to use .scroll() or .bind('scroll', function() { to then check if it was a vertical scroll...
