+class InfiniteScrollOverride extends InfiniteScroll {
+
+    /**
+     * We are overriding the getParentElement function to use a custom element as the scrollable element
+     *
+     * @param {any} el the scroller domNode
+     * @returns {any} the parentNode to base the scroll calulations on
+     *
+     * @memberOf InfiniteScrollOverride
+     */

+        return super.getParentElement(el);
