How do I determine scrollHeight of a division use css overflow:auto?
I've tried:
$('test').scrollHeight();
$('test').height(); but that just returns the size of the div not all the content
Ultimately, I'm trying to create a chat and always have the scroll bar to the current message on the screen.
So I was thinking something like the following:
var test = $('test').height();
$('test').scrollTop(test);
Thank you,
Brian

Correct ways in jQuery are -
$('#test').prop('scrollHeight')OR$('#test')[0].scrollHeightOR$('#test').get(0).scrollHeight
scrollHeight is a regular javascript property so you don't need jQuery.
var test = document.getElementById("foo").scrollHeight;
You can also use:
$('#test').context.scrollHeight
