Cross-Browser method for setting ScrollTop of an element?

rated 0 times [ 140] [ 3] / answers: 1 / hits: 27985 / 13 Years ago, mon, june 13, 2011, 12:00:00

For example I have I a div tag with the scroll bar on the right of the div tag.

I want to show the div with the last line, so I have this:

document.getElementById(divscroll).scrollTop = 250000;

I can make it scroll to the end in Firefox but never succcess with IE event with the bigger number!

Is there any simple Cross-borwser script (not JQuery or any big framework!)

scrollTop works in all major browsers.

To scroll to the bottom of the element:

var div = document.getElementById('divscroll');

div.scrollTop = div.scrollHeight - div.clientHeight;

clientHeight also works across browsers, and scrollHeight mostly works.
