jquery - keep window from changing scroll position while prepending items to a list?

Question

I have a page that displays messages and I want it to work just like Facebook, but without the lazy loader. Messages are displayed in chronological order, most recent last.<

Answer 1

Here's a simple trick that worked for me:

// divWithTheScroll.prependElement...
divWithTheScroll.scrollTop += newlyPrependedElement.scrollHeight;
