i have a div with height:100px and overflow:auto
the content is dynamic.
i want scroll the div in the bottom
i tried with
$("#chat_content").scrollTop($("#chat_content").height());
but if the content is bigger than 100px
$("#chat_content").height() returns 100 and the div isn't scrolled on the bottom
how can i do?
thanks
Get the scrollHeight
property from the underlying DOM element:
$("#chat_content").scrollTop($("#chat_content").get(0).scrollHeight);
try $("#chat_content").scrollTop($("#chat_content").get(0).scrollHeight);
Another way is to just wrap the internal content in a div and then just change your ".height" call to
$("#chat_content").scrollTop($("#chat_content div").height());
