Linking to a named anchor inside an iframe

using javascript

[kidd]

Hello:

I've been trying to find a solution for this problem but I can't seem to get it.

Here is the problem:

I have a webpage that has an iframe with the id chat. Inside this iframe another page displays which has an iframe too with the id message_fr.

This last iframe message_fr refreshes itself each 20 seconds, displaying some text. My problem is that each time it refreshes it goes to the top of the document, but I want it to go to the bottom.

So I thought that maybe the solution was to add an "a name". So at the end of the document I added this line:

<a name="end"> &nbsp;&nbsp; </a>

And i created a short javascript in the body that takes the document to that place:

<SCRIPT LANGUAJE="JavaScript"> 
document.location = "#end";
</SCRIPT>

I thought it may work fine, but then I tested and I found out that the whole document moves...when I only want the document in the iframe message_fr to move.

I thought that maybe I should point out to the iframe object and I tried with different sintaxis:

document.chat.message_fr.location = "#end";
document.message_fr.location = "#end";
message_fr.location = "#end";
self.location = "#end";

But none of them work...with the first three I get the error "no object found"... and with the last one I get the same result (the whole document moves)...

I hope that I was able to explain my problem and it would be great if someone could help me out with this...

Thanks

Have you tried

document.chat.location = "#end";
