Question

I used com.extjs.gxt.ui.client.widget.form.TextArea

txtConsole= new TextArea();  
txtConsole.setReadOnly(true);
container.add(txtConsole);

and setting its value and trying to set scroll to bottom;

txtConsole.setValue(message);
txtConsole.setCursorPos(message.length());
txtConsole.getElement().setScrollTop(txtConsole.getElement().getScrollHeight());

But scroll is still at the top of the textarea.
I am using GWT 2.1 and GXT 2.2.1.

What should I do to send scroll to bottom?

Thanks.

I’ve found the solution and it works

txtConsole.getElement().getFirstChildElement().setScrollTop(txtConsole.getElement().getFirstChildElement().getScrollHeight())

According to below description;

Need to get the element after
rendering. getElement() before
rendering will return a dummy element.
Also getElement returns the wrong one.
It will be
getElement().getFirstChildElement();
