DIV textbox area

[ILYAS415]

Hey hi people.

I need help with a DIV textarea html code.

Basically what the code does is creates a scroll so the visitors can scroll down a chat kind of thing.

 

Im trying to make the scoll start at the bottom and continue to scroll to the bottom of the DIV textarea. Heres my code:-

<div align="center" id="chatwindow" style="overflow:auto; height:300px; width:99%; text-align:left;">
</div>

 

I can't seem to find any codes for the textarea to scroll it down but the closestone ive gotten to is...

function scrollToBottom(el) {
    el.scrollTop=el.scrollHeight; 
}
scrolltoBottom(chatwindow);

 

I really need someone to tell me how i could do this

 

Thanks.

Okay ive fixed the problem i finally found a piece of coding on the internet which let me scroll down continiously but now im a bit stuck. Basically on firefox when i visit the page the div textbox almost appears to continiously shake or refresh which it doesn't do on ie5. Any ideas?

try this:

 

<script language="javascript">
function scrollToBottom() 
{
chatwindow.scrollTop = chatwindow.scrollHeight;
}
window.onload = function()
{
setTimeout("scrollToBottom()",1);
}
</script>

<div align="center" id="chatwindow" style="overflow:auto; height:300px; width:99%; text-align:left;border:solid 1px black">
