The textbox element, along with some other elements that scroll lack an onScroll fcuntion. This becomes especially troublesome when making an IRC style chat interface. All chat interfaces need to scroll to the bottom of the text when a new event is added to the history window. To get around this I had to make an iFrame and add description elements to it dynamically with JS. While this does work, it is a pain to implement, and if I wanted the content to be editable by the user, I would be SOL. Furthermore, since I needed to dynamically create tab pages for channels, I had to store the various channels histories in objects, and then switch them out with one iFrame. This is because, as of the time of this post, dynamically created iFrames do not have a document property to add elements to. Suffice it to say, a simple scrollTo function would make creation of IRC style interfaces much simpler.
