I have a button that opens a TXT file in a new window. Is there a way to automatically go to the very bottom of that page using javascript or php? Or to any particular location (like searching for a string)? Because it is a TXT file, there are no anchors.
Here's my button's onclick:
onclick="window.open('comments.txt','_comments').focus();"
I have looked into adding this to the onclick (but it did not work):
w.scrollTo(0,150);
It's actually very easy to do:
Make sure you do this from a server (not locally), as browsers check that the files are on the same domain (for security reasons). If you want to work directly on your machine, install a local server and use
http://localhost/
.Note: Here, I scroll to 99999px, because without an actual HTML document, we're not able to find out the document height. If that's not enough, use a higher value.
