How do I scroll to the bottom of HTML in a browser control? [message #660679]

I am trying to set the HTML for a browser control and then scroll to the bottom of the HTML but whenever I try to get the vertical scroll bar it is null.

This is how I am trying to scroll to the bottom:

		Display.getCurrent().asyncExec(new Runnable() {

			@Override
			public void run() {
				final ScrollBar vsb = browser.getVerticalBar();
				if (vsb != null) {
					vsb.setSelection(vsb.getMaximum());
				}
			}
		});

but vsb is always null even when I can see content in the browser that spans more than one page and a vertical scroll bar is visible.

How do I do what I am trying to achieve?

Hi,
SWT doesn't create the scrollbars for the Browser. Hence, Browser.getVerticalScrollBar()/getHorizontalScrollBar doesn't return the Browser's scrollbars.

If you're showing HTML content then you can do something like:

browser.execute("window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight)");
