Yes you can. It's best to scroll past the bottom because that will be sure to compensate for possible errors in offsets as you compute the height. At least I think I had to do this in one case once upon a time.
In firefox this will scroll you to the bottom of www.nytimes.com: document.body.parentNode.scrollTop = document.body.parentNode.offsetHeight; Just paste it into firebug or use the bookmarklet: javascript:void((function(){ document.body.parentNode.scrollTop = document.body.parentNode.offsetHeight })()); I'm assuming in all this that youre using the css: overflow:scroll or overflow-x:scroll for the thing you want to scroll to the bottom of (if it's not the default style for it). Hope that helps!
