automatically scrolling down the page to the bottom after adding data to it by xmlhttpreq object?

Hi guys,
I have some problem about my little http/javascript/xmlhttpreq based
chatroom program:
I use xmlhttpreq object to add data to the current html file.
It will add to a specifiy place, like after a tag or before a tag
And if it adds too many data after that tag, the whole page will become
big and need to scroll down to see the latest added data
how to let it scroll down automatically without any annoying scrolling
down?

One way I can use is to use a anchor which is at the bottom of that
page and after i put my data into the textbox and click the link( which
is linked to proper file to process the data but also point to the
anchor) the page will show from the bottom. but the whole page will
first jump up a little space then jump down. It's annoying too :(

Any1 has idea?

Without seeing your code, only guesses are possible.

You might try window.scrollBy () with suitable values - either calculated
or just some silly number for the y value like (0, 10000):

I have a <select> control that contains many entries. It allows the user to multi-select a group of them, click a button, and store the selected data in a database. Normally they do this starting at the top of the list moving down towards the bottom. The problem I was having was that the <select> control was scrolling back to the top of the page after the postback and the user would lose their place in the <select> control forcing them to...

Hello, I have two environments, QA and Production. When the users are testing, I want them to know they are in the QA environment versus the Production enviroment. One solution would be to use the bottom area of the ASPX page (not sure what it is called) that informs you what page is loading and then it says Done upon completion. At some websites I see this used to present a scrolling banner in that area. How does one do this...what is...

Here's one that should probably have the sub-heading "I'm sure I asked this once before, but ...". Two users are both looking at the same data, from a database. One user changes the data and commits it. How does the other user get the updated view without polling for changes? Is there some sort of callback mechanism that can be set up on the dataset or connection? TIA

I have a layer, which is a DIV that has overflow set to "auto", so it looks like a little pop-up window, even though it's just a layer. So if the content of that window makes the user scroll down to read it, and the user clicks a link while scrolled down, and the AJAX function calls new data into that DIV, that data, if overflowed, will also be scrolled down. So basically it's like if you scrolled down to the bottom of slashdot.org,...
