JavaScript: Slide-on-Scroll

Add a sliding effect to the page as it is scrolled.

Here is a teensy micro-library that adds a sliding effect to the page as it is scrolled. This Javascript code will minify to practically nothing. This file minifies to less than a single kilobyte. This library is compatible with Internet Explorer 11 and inspired by peeler.js. See also: slide-on-scroll HTML/CSS version.

(function () {
    var slides = document.getElementsByClassName("slide-on-scroll"), slideMemory = [], above = "999", slider = function () {
        var offset = window.pageYOffset, triggered = false, below = 998, current, len = slides.length, i = 0, j = 0;
        for (; i < len; i++) {
            if (offset <= slideMemory[i].max && offset >= slideMemory[i].min) {
                slides[i].style.marginTop = -(offset - (slideMemory[i].min)) + "px";
                slides[i].style.zIndex = above;
                triggered = true;
                current = i;
                break;
            }
        }
        for (; j < len; j++) {
            if (i != current && i < len) {
                slides[i].style.marginTop = "0px";
                slides[i].style.zIndex = below--;
            }
            i++;
            if (i == len) { // RESET ROTATION
                slides[i - 1].style.marginTop = "0px";
                i = 0;
            }
        }
        if (!triggered) { // THEN AT TOP OF WINDOW
            slides[0].style.marginTop = "0px";
            slides[0].style.zIndex = above;
        }
    }, addHandler = function (type, handler) {
        var w = window;
        if (w.addEventListener) {
            w.addEventListener(type, handler, false);
        } else if (w.attachEvent) {
            w.attachEvent("on" + type, handler);
        } else {
            w["on" + type] = handler;
        }
    }, setBodyHeight = function () {
        var bodyHeight = 0;
		slideMemory = []; // RESET slideMemory
        for (var i = 0, len = slides.length; i < len; i++) {
            var slide = slides[i];
            var height = window.innerHeight;
            slide.style.height = parseInt(height) + "px";
            slideMemory.push({ min: bodyHeight, max: bodyHeight + height });
            bodyHeight += height;
        }
        document.body.style.height = bodyHeight + "px";
    };
    setBodyHeight();
    addHandler("resize", setBodyHeight);
    addHandler("scroll", slider);
    addHandler("load", slider);
})();

Using the slide-on-scroll library requires that the class slide-on-scroll be added to each HTML element that will slide as the window is scrolled.
