FireFox 3 broke my chat room

    Firefox 3 seems to have broken my chat room action in the following manner.

    I have a scroll box that the chat is being inserted into. As the chat conversation gets longer, the scrollbar appears (set to auto) and the chat extends down below the bottom of the box. Yet the user remains situated at the top of the box.

    With IE 6 and 7, and with FF 2, the user was situated down at the bottom of the list of chat messages. With FF 3, the user must now scroll down to the bottom every time a new chat message is inserted.

    Please help me solve this.

    So, it turned out that scrollTop's setting in a js function had to be changed/

    FF 2.x: d.scrollTop = 1000000000;
    FF 3.x: d.scrollTop = 10000;

    fwiw
