auto scroll

Paranoid2k

I used this script, which I found here in order to auto-refresh a page.
"<html><head><meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"8\">".
"<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex\"></head>".

the problem is, that after each refreshing, the scrollbar is on top, which rarely is good for a chat. It should be on bottom. Can someone help me? I hope my English is not to bad, because I'm not a native speaker :-)
thx

I know there is some easy javascript to have the page auto scroll to the bottom once it loads, but this would be very annoying if you were chatting. I think I would suggest that you just display about 10-15 lines of the chat above you and have no scrolling at all. This is just my opinion, but maybe there is a way to reload the page and not actually see the scrolling. Hope this helps a little.

I used JS to solve this problem.

This will scroll the page to the bottom.

you could of done it with a name tag

<a name="bottom"></a>//at the bottom of the page

then when it refreshes

much easier then calling javascript

I tried that and had problems with it not wanting to always
work in IE 5
