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:

Answer 1

My Scenario: I had an list of string, in which I had to append a string given by a user and scroll to the end of the list automatically. I had fixed height of the display of the list, after which it should overflow.

I tried @Jeremy Ruten's answer, it worked, but it was scrolling to the (n-1)th element. If anybody is facing this type of issue, you can use setTimeOut() method workaround. You need to modify the code to below:

setTimeout(() => {
    var objDiv = document.getElementById('div_id');
    objDiv.scrollTop = objDiv.scrollHeight
}, 0)

Here is the StcakBlitz link I have created which shows the problem and its solution : https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-ivy-x9esw8
