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);

    If you use jQuery then may be you can take a look at this great plugin, it has a lot of options for scrolling, check it out here http://flesler.blogspot.com/2007/10/jqueryscrollto.html

Slow Android emulator

By User
I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?

Java Urban Myths

By User
Along the line of C++ Urban Myths and Perl Myths : What are the Java Urban Myths? That is, the ideas and conceptions about Java that are common but have no actual roots in reality . As a Java programmer, what ideas held by your fellow Java programmers have you had to disprove so often that you've come to believe they all learned at the feet of the same drunk old story-teller? Ideally, you would express these myths in a single sentence, and include an explanation of why they are false.
