Scrollbar max height - for autoscrolling

[cmocmo]

I have written an autoscrolling jscript function that will load a
specfic webpage, scroll the page at a reasonable speed and when it
reaches the bottom of the page will sleep(5) and then refresh the page.
The problem that I have run into is I cannot seem to find the actuall
length of the scrolled text (I can find the length via
client{Height|Width} and other window variables defined, but the length
of the scrolled text). Is there a way to 1) find the actuall length of
the scrolled text and or when the end of the page has been reached
(i.e. the browsers window has completely scrolled to the bottom of the
page)?

Thanks for any information

After each movement, read either document.body.scrollTop or self.pageYOffset, whichever is active. When the result no
longer matches the value that you set, you're there.

Please do not add such a script to a published page.

Thanks for the reply.

I am not sure what you mean by the 'value that you set'? Are you
refering to setting the YOffset to some random value?

This is for an internal kiosk only.

Thanks again.
