Scroll to bottom of div?

Question

I am creating a chat using Ajax requests and I\'m trying to get messages div to scroll to the bottom without much luck.

I am wrapping everything in this div:

Found this really helpful, thank you.

For the Angular 1.X folks out there:

angular.module('myApp').controller('myController', ['$scope', '$document',
  function($scope, $document) {

    var overflowScrollElement = $document[0].getElementById('your_overflow_scroll_div');
    overflowScrollElement[0].scrollTop = overflowScrollElement[0].scrollHeight;

  }
]);

Just because the wrapping in jQuery elements versus HTML DOM elements gets a little confusing with angular.

Also for a chat application, I found making this assignment after your chats were loaded to be useful, you also might need to slap on short timeout as well.
