Thanks, that's what I needed was a good start on the problem.

function scrollToBottom(el) {
    el.scrollTop=el.scrollHeight; 
}

will make the textarea jump to the last line - could probably do with
more work and only tested in FF2 win
but hopefully will set you on the right track. 

cheers

Is there a way to scroll a textarea using Javascript, what I want to do
is scroll the text without the user taking action with the mouse. Say I
have a text area sized to show say 5 lines of text but actually contains

say 25 lines of text, can I either style or using JS cause the text area
to scroll to the bottom? Any ideas on how?

Thanks
