A function to get the scrolling parent of an html element.

npm install scrollparent --save

var Scrollparent = require("scrollparent");

Scrollparent(document.getElementById("content")) // HTMLHtmlElement or HTMLBodyElement as appropriate

var Scrollparent = require("scrollparent");

Scrollparent(document.getElementById("inside-a-scrolling-div")) // HTMLDivElement

Internally, the root scrolling element is determined in this library as the result of

document.scrollingElement || document.htmlElement

This should give a usable result in most browsers today but if you want to ensure full support you should use a document.scrollingElement polyfill such as this one.
