java script to show last lines of textarea

5 New Member
Hi every one,

I have a question regarding the lastline in Textarea. I am have build a chat application using the textarea to display the typed messages. Every thing is working fine except once the text range is out of the textarea size I have to scroll down to check for the new messages. Can anyone help me to display the last lines of in textarea always using javascript.


Thanks & Regards,

Bharat

hi ...

have a look at the following example:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. var n   = document.getElementById('your_message_text_area_id');
  2. var end = n.lastChild.offsetTop;
  3. window.scrollTo(0, end);
so we refer to the div where you output the messages, and then we refer to its last added child ... and then we scroll to its top position ... note: i assume that it is a div where you assign the messages to? typically you have an input area (to type in) below or before an readonly messages-output 'window' (where the recent messages appear)?

kind regards

HI,

I hope below things will work for you.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. obj = document.getElementById(divid);
  2.         var currentScrollHeight = obj.scrollHeight;
  3.         obj.scrollTop = (obj.scrollTop + 100000); //set the scroll height to scroll by here.

Apparently there is a textarea onscroll event bubbling bug in Firefox and Mozilla: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=229089 I'm trying to check for this bug with the following script and it *seems* to work. In IE it reports "bubbling" and in Firefox "not bubbling" but I really have no direct way to confirm the Firefox results until the bubbling bug is fixed.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
