I have created a div element and I add content (text) to that div dynamically. But the problem is that, the latest data added to the div can be seen by scrolling it and this makes the user to scroll down to view new data added to the div always. So how can I stop this and automatically scroll down to show tha ned data to the user with out making him to scroll

Thanks

Don't specify a height for the div or add to the div style overflow:visible. But the overflow:visible may break the layout.

Igot it working by

var contentV=document.getElementById("content");
contentV.scrollTop = contentV.scrollHeight - contentV.clientHeight;

Thanks for the support
