Hi Guys,

Im USELESS! with javascript. Can someone help here?

Ive got the below,
This works fine:
var objDiv = document.getElementById("publictext");
objDiv.scrollTop = objDiv.scrollHeight;
var objDiv = document.getElementById("privatetext");
objDiv.scrollTop = objDiv.scrollHeight;

I want to check if a checkbox id=chk is checked.
If it is, Do the above 4 lines.

If it isnt.
Do nothing.

How can i get this to work?

Thanks
G

function scroller(){
    
    var scrolling = document.getElementById('chk');
    if(scrolling.checked != "checked")
    else
    var objDiv = document.getElementById("publictext");
    objDiv.scrollTop = objDiv.scrollHeight;
    var objDiv = document.getElementById("privatetext");
    objDiv.scrollTop = objDiv.scrollHeight;
    
  

}

In JavaScript the checked property is a simple boolean, so

if(scrolling.checked) {

}

will suffice

Also, your if statement is not structured correctly. Wrap everything in {} to avoid confusion. Placing the 'else' on a line immediately after the 'if' is not doing what you think.

Ty, Thats great.

Works like a charm. Something so simple, but i have a terrible problem understanding how JS actually talks to the elements in the document.

I try to stick to PHP but need some JS form time to time

Ty again
