Hi!

I have a HTML_Area which I show in the webclient. It has a dataprovider, logText, which I update with the work that has been done.
Now how I would like the vertical scrollbar to behave, is that it scrolls to the bottom, when I update the logtText dataprovider. So you always see the last line that is added.

But I just can't figure out how to do that. I tried to set the Y scroll to an high number, but it just stays on top every time.

Does anyone knows how this works?

Thanks!

So no one?

Bummer...

Not sure if this will help but in a basic web page you can do it like the following:

Code: Select all

var textarea = document.getElementById('textarea_id');
textarea.scrollTop = textarea.scrollHeight;


You can also do it with jQuery like so:

Code: Select all

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('#textarea_id').scrollTop($('#textarea_id')[0].scrollHeight);
});


You can use the Web Client Utils plugins (https://www.servoyforge.net/projects/webclientutils) to get the actual ID of your rendered textarea and replace the 'textarea_id' above with what the plugin returns. This is all theroy at this point because I have not tried it yet but if I get some time today I'll test it out myself and let you know what I find. Hope that helps!

I built a sample solution and that process worked like a charm. I've attached it for you to review. Enjoy!
