Hi:

    I'm stumbling along now in building my new app, but I have another 
problem that I can't answer:

    I have a <select> box with a viewable area of about 20 lines.

    I am (programmatically) filling the options individually into this list 
from the top down (using optionobj.add(...) ) with about 80 options.

    While filling this select list, and when I reach the bottom of the 
viewable area of the <select> element (which is set to overflow:scroll), I 
wish the bottom of the list to 'jump up' after every added option entry so 
that I show the latest option at the bottom of the viewable area, while the 
uper options disappear off the top of the list

    But, even with optel.scrollIntoView(true) -- or (false), the option list 
won't jump up -- even though the option is correctly added -- when I 
manually drag down the vertical scroll bar.

    I even tried to set focus to this last added option, but still it 
doesn't 'jump into view'

Have you any tips/suggestions for me please ??

Thank you.
