Scroll to bottom of div?

Image
By User


I am creating an ajax chat in rails and I am trying to get a div to scroll to the bottom without much luck.



I am wrapping everything in this div: 





#scroll {

    height:400px;

    overflow:scroll;

}


Is there a way to keep it scrolled to the bottom by default using JS?



is there a way to keep it scrolled to the bottom after an ajax request?

    Here's what I use on my site (I didn't write it, I just found it somewhere since I don't know Javascript too well.)

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

    This is much easier if you're using jQuery:

    $("#mydiv").scrollTop($("#mydiv")[0].scrollHeight);

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

By User
I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

By User
Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
