Okay, the next time I think you made a mistake I'll rethink it a
bit. :)

Nope, I was utilizing the scrollTop() method from dimensions.


Here's another way that avoids redundant selector expressions:

I think you meant:

$('#divname')[0].scrollTop( $('#divname')[0].scrollHeight );

Here's another way that avoids redundant selector expressions:

$('#divname').each(function(){this.scrollTop = this.scrollHeight});

I think that would be how prototype would do it. Here's how jQuery would:

$('#divname').scrollTop( $('#divname')[0].scrollHeight );

I think this should work in the latest version of jQuery.

$('html').animate({ scrollTop: $('html').height() });
