Q776 How can I scroll through a page automatically?

The scrollBy method introduced in Netscape Navigator 4 and Internet Explorer 4 allows the document to be scrolled in increments. With the assitance of a timer you can scroll all the way down to the bottom of a document:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"><!--
function myScroll() {
    window.scrollBy(0,100)
    setTimeout('myScroll()',1000); // scrolls every 1000 miliseconds
}

if (document.layers || document.all)
    myScroll()
//--></SCRIPT>
