[Javascript] Scroll a multiline textarea

[aaronbassett at gmail.com (Aaron Bassett)]

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
