Hi,
I get some HTML Logging output from a very simple HTTP server. But it quickly runs down the bottom of the browser window so I need to scroll all the time to see the most current messages.
Can you please help me to write such a fancy javascript: URL bookmark that constantly scrolls to the end of the current document?

The page loading is never finished so unload will never be called. There is constantly new content added to the page while the log is running and I want it scroll to the button all the time not just once.
If at all possible I'd prefer not to insert anything into the page code but have it in a seperate javascript: URL that can be called from a bookmark if needed.
Ah, you mean chunked transfer? The anchor tag would actually be harder to implement. I know you can do this: (not sure if supported in Mozilla, but should work in IE):
Have this in the <head> section:
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function scrollBottom() {
scrollBy(0,document.body.s
}
var tid = setInterval('scrollBottom(
//The 2000 means 2000 milliseconds or 2 seconds
//-->
</script>
Then have this:
<body onload="clearInterval(tid)
change the address of one of ur links to
javascript:scrollBy(0,wind
apply and click OK (ignore popups)
use this link to move to the end of the page. u will however have to click on this link each time to move to the current 'end'
however it saves using the scrollbar
i tried a recursive loop using setTimeout but it will eventually gobble up too much mem. and freeze ur system

Hi
You could put this:
<body onload="scrollBottom();">
and have this:
function scrollBottom() {
scrollBy(0,document.body.s
}
