Start <Div> at bottom of scroll

[Ben]

I Have a datagrid that i have placed inside a <div> section so that it
becomes scrollable, but now i have a new problem.

I would like the <div> to auto start at the bottom of the scroll (newest
entries are at the bottom).

Can this be done? I dont know any javascripting and everythign i have found
says place the following code as javascript in the html

var objDiv = document.getEle mentById("divEx ample");
objDiv.scrollTo p = objDiv.scrollHe ight;

I guess what im saying is i dont have any javascript in the html and I dont
have any place to call it. I would like to use it when the pane that it is
contained in becomes visible.

Thanks.

You need .scrollIntoView methods

Michael,

thanks for the reply. That looks like the propertie I am looking for
however, when I type "this." I do not get the <div> control which has the ID
DIVdata. Maybe I am missing something?

Thanks in advance.

Put something *at the bottom of the client area* of the div, and call
scrollIntoView on that object.
