smooth scroll up

[NoradIV]

OK..this might be fun..how can I create an input box for typing text into..of course..that would then send it to a second box and scroll upwards smoothly..in other words..if I type a sentence it would show up in the other output box..then stop and wait for more input..then if I typed another sentence, or phrase it would scroll up pushing the first one on up..only up..not down like movie credits do..and not be jumpy., just smoooooth more simple?..sort of like a chat send box..going to an output, or post box (screen)

I wrote a chat box simulator for a similar question - the code - and it's evolution can be found here: thread216-602561

I have to say- that's some good use of the setTimeout() method. Nice one

Hmm..I think you guys are missing the point *L*
ok..lemme try again..
this is on the same prncipal as a chat room function.
there is on input test box..where you type your message..
you click send, hit enter on the keyboard, or whatever
and what you type shows up on the big screen (usually above the input box).. i/e output
its a sort of universal chat client setup..
so like in most chats..when someone types a message it pops up on the big screen..someone else types a message and the first message moves up to show the next message, and the next, and the next, etc..
but instead of the usual jumpy push thing..I want messages to scroll up smoothly..thanks
