Scroll position

[Phillip Parr]

Hey peeps, I'm trying to get a webpage open and start scrolled fully to the
bottom. How should I go about this?

Thanks!

Two ways:

1. Put an anchor at the bottom and include it in the URI
for the page, e.g. http://<someURI>/page.html#end

2. Use an onload function that includes a window.scrollBy()
with a very large number (say 100000).

Method 1. is greatly preferred as window.scrollBy() is
legacy and not part of current spec.

Now why didn't I think of that...

Thanks!

3?. Execute something like location.href="#end", but only after
reaching #end ???
