Good morning,

Have you any idea how make scroll bar still at the bottom when I writing text in text area (text area is increasing to up when add text). After refresh page scroll bar is in the bottom but not when adding text

I found the answer on this SO post. Every time you type, you want to scroll to the bottom again to make sure you are at the bottom of the .Content.

This may be annoying for some users that purposely scrolled up within the content, so you should add an extra check for that.

$('textarea').on('input', function() {
  var scrollHeight = parseInt($(this).prop('scrollHeight'));
  $(this).height(scrollHeight);
  $(this).prev('.Content').outerHeight(300 - $(this).outerHeight());
  $('.Content').scrollTop($('.Content')[0].scrollHeight);
  
});

$('.Content').scrollTop($('.Content')[0].scrollHeight);

.OuterDiv
{
  width:200px;
  height:300px;
  border:1px solid #000;
  position:relative;
  }
.Content
{
  width:200px;
  max-height:250px;
  background-color:grey;
  overflow:auto;
  }
.text
{
  resize:none;
  position:absolute;
  bottom:0;
  left:0;
  width:194px;
  height:45px;
  max-height:145px;
  background-color:rgba(250, 120, 30,1);
  font-size:16px;
  font-family:Arial;
  overflow:auto;
  word-wrap:break-word;
  }
