Hi I want to scroll div to bottom onload. I tried something like this, but it doesn't work.

function scrollToBottom() {


        var objDiv = document.getElementById("message");
        objDiv.scrollTop = objDiv.scrollHeight;
    }

This is code of div.

<div id="message"  önload="scrollToBottom()" >
                   <ul>
                       @foreach(var row in db.Query("SELECT * FROM Messages WHERE (FromUserID= @0 AND ToUserID= @1) OR (FromUserID= @1 AND ToUserID =@0)",id,WebSecurity.CurrentUserId))
                       {
                       if(row.FromUserID==id)
                       {
                        var a= db.QuerySingle("SELECT * FROM UserProfile WHERE UserId=@0",row.FromUserId);

                       <li >
                          <span id="messageToMe">@a.User</span>
                           <br>@row.Message
                       </li>
                       }
                       else
                       {
                       <li >
                           <span id="messageFromMe">@WebSecurity.CurrentUserName</span> <br>
                           @row.Message
                       </li>
                       }

                       }


                   </ul>
               </div>

{
float: right;

Do you see any errors in FireBug Console tab?
What browsers you are testing on?

Solution 1

See Scroll to bottom of Div on page load (jQuery)[^]

* NOTE: this code is using jQuery
Without using jQuery, you can try this:

JavaScript

window.onload=function () {
     var objDiv = document.getElementById("MyDivElement");
     objDiv.scrollTop = objDiv.scrollHeight;
}

Cheers,
Edo

document.getElementById('message').scrollTop = 9999999;

Quote:
The scrollTop property specifies the scrolling offset in pixels from the top of the region. Setting it to a very large value will force it to the bottom.

I hope this will help to you.
