Imar and book readers:

I have a slight problem with my asp.net application and was wondering if you could help me out.

I have an asp.net ajax application which refreshes messages every 7 seconds via a timer control. I have a literal control wrapped in a div tag which grabs new messages from my sql server database via asp.net ajax. Now in IE, everytime the page refreshes, I have a javascript function which allows the scrollbars of the div to be placed all the way at the bottom, so that the user does not have to rescroll down to the bottom of the div every 7 seconds.. The following is the javascript function that does so (it works..)

function ScrollOnRefresh() {
   var element = document.getElementById("MessagesDiv");
   element.scrollTop = 1000000000;
}

This function will not work in Firefox at all, could someone please help me with the work around for firefox that places the scrollbar all the way to the bottom of the messagesdiv.


thank you,

aspC

Hi aspC,

Can you please repost this question in either the Ajax or JavaScript categories here at P2P? Makes it easier for you to get an answer (more people are reading that forum) and easier for future readers visiting the book's forum if they are looking for book-related posts.

Cheers,

Imar

I posted it here because it is an ASP.NET issue with ajax and that was in your book. Not sure what forums your talking about in here, most aren't active at all (especially the javascript and ajax books), except yours..

As far as I can see, it's not related to a Try It Out, the sample site or any other concept explained in the book. I do see it's about AJAX, so I understand why you think you're better off putting it here.

But like I said: there are better categories available, watched by more people which increases your chances on an answer.

Try an AJAX or JavaScript forum in the Web Category here:
http://p2p.wrox.com/web-2-0-mashups-other-web-programming-449

or one the ASP.NET forums in the ASP.NET category:
http://p2p.wrox.com/asp-net-asp-12

Many of these forums are pretty busy with lots of visitors waiting to help you out.

Cheers,

Imar
