I have got this chat script that is run from a flatfile, so there is no DB quesries, what i want it to do is automatically scroll to the last post that has been made, I have currently got it setup like this

Code:

<div style="height:100px; overflow: auto;">
<table summary="" border="1" width=100%>
 <tr>
  <td><p align="left"><?php include("messages.txt"); ?></p>
   
   
  </td>
 </tr>
</table>
</div>

but it isn't auto scrolling, the sc roll bar is there but it just sits at the top of the list

any thoughts please

hey spellbyte,

You'll need a text area, but you will need to create this within your messages. For example:

<textarea rows="2" name="Msg" cols="40">My Messages</textarea>

that worked gr8 thanks madmonkey, One last problem with it though, when i submit message it always goes to the top of the textarea, what i want it to do is auto scroll to the last post

any ideas?

- In that case you will need to use the following code instead:

<textarea name="txtArea" rows="2" name="Msg" cols="40">My Messages</textarea>

- In the header (<head>) of your document, use the following code:

<script type="text/javascript">
function scrollToEnd (element) {
if (typeof element.scrollTop != 'undefined' && typeof element.scrollHeight != 'undefined') { element.scrollTop = element.scrollHeight; }
}
</script>

- At the end of the body (</body>) of the document, use the following code:

<script type="text/javascript">
ScrollToEnd(txtArea);
</script>

thanks for the reply MadMonkey but it's still not working

I placed the <script> into my header file and the <textarea> into my chat.php, but still nothing, i even tried putting the script into my chat.php but again still doesn't auto scroll to the bottom
