IntersectionObserverEntry: target property

The target read-only property of the IntersectionObserverEntry interface indicates which targeted Element has changed its amount of intersection with the intersection root.

Value

The IntersectionObserverEntry's target property specifies which Element previously targeted by calling IntersectionObserver.observe() experienced a change in intersection with the root.

Examples

In this simple example, each targeted element's opacity is set to its intersectionRatio.

function intersectionCallback(entries) {
  entries.forEach((entry) => {
    entry.target.style.opacity = entry.intersectionRatio;
  });
}
