Scroll to bottom of div?


I am creating an ajax chat in rails and I am trying to get a div to scroll to the bottom without much luck.



I am wrapping everything in this div:




#scroll {
height:400px;
overflow:scroll;
}



Is there a way to keep it scrolled to the bottom by default using JS?



is there a way to keep it scrolled to the bottom after an ajax request?

  1. Here's what I use on my site (I didn't write it, I just found it somewhere since I don't know Javascript too well.)

    var objDiv = document.getElementById("your_div");
    objDiv.scrollTop = objDiv.scrollHeight;

  2. This is much easier if you're using jQuery:

    $("#mydiv").scrollTop($("#mydiv")[0].scrollHeight);
