When to Display?

wikiHow displays the popup after user has scrolled 85% of the webpage. Using this JavaScript snippet you can easily detect when user has scrolled 85% of the webpage

window.addEventListener("scroll", function(){
                var heightOfWindow = window.innerHeight;
                var contentScrolled = window.pageYOffset;
                var bodyHeight = window.document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0].offsetHeight;
                var total = bodyHeight - heightOfWindow;
                var got = contentScrolled;
                var scrolled = parseInt((got/total) * 100);
               
                if(scrolled > 85)
                {
                    //display popup
                }
            }, false);

To understand how the above code words please refer this article.

Styling the box

The popup box is displayed as fixed position. We get the balloon shape by making the border top left, top right and bottom left assigned to same pixel value but greater than zero. Border top right is assigned to 0px.

Here is the complete code of the demo.

<!doctype html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>wikiHow Style Popup</title>
        <style>
            .popup-cover
            {
                right: -250px;
                bottom: -250px;
                position: fixed;
                margin-left: -10px;
                width: 250px;
                -webkit-transition: all 1s;
                -moz-transition: all 1s;
                -o-transition: all 1s;
                transition: all 1s;
            }
           
            .popup
            {
                background-color: white;
                border: 5px solid #93b874;

To create code blocks or other preformatted text, indent by four spaces:

    This will be displayed in a monospaced font. The first four
    spaces will be stripped off, but all other whitespace
    will be preserved.
    
    Markdown is turned off in code blocks:
     [This is not a link](http://example.com)

To create not a block, but an inline code span, use backticks:

Here is some inline `code`.
