Dynamically Scrolling a Textarea

Question

I have a textarea html element on my page that gets reloaded via ajax. The whole textarea is returned each time not just its content, and the content grows over time. Along

Answer 1

As a quick hack you can just do this:

textArea.scrollTop = 99999;

Another option is to try it in a timer:

setTimeout(function()
{
    var textArea = document.getElementById('outputTextResultsArea');
    textArea.scrollTop = textArea.scrollHeight;
}, 10);
