How To Automatically Scrolling To The Bottom Of A Text File Window?

I have a button that opens a TXT file in a new window. Is there a way to automatically go to the very bottom of that page using javascript or php? Or to any particular location (

Solution 1:

It's actually very easy to do:

<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><metacharset="UTF-8"><title>This is a test</title></head><body><buttonid="open">Open text file</button><script>document.getElementById('open').onclick = function(){
            window.open('comments.txt','_comments').onload = function(){
                this.scrollTo(0, 99999); // Use the biggest value you can
            };
        };
    </script></body></html>

Make sure you do this from a server (not locally), as browsers check that the files are on the same domain (for security reasons). If you want to work directly on your machine, install a local server and use http://localhost/.

Note: Here, I scroll to 99999px, because without an actual HTML document, we're not able to find out the document height. If that's not enough, use a higher value.
