What is autoscroll and how does it support chat?
Autoscroll is a feature of Netscape that lets a server deliver ongoing page information to your screen automatically. The connection to the server is kept open and new page information is appended. The autoscroll areas (a page or page frame) automatically scrolls to accommodate the data stream. Both autoscroll and server push leave the connection to the server open and display new content on an ongoing basis; however, autoscroll appends new information to the page whereas server push updates the entire page. You can close the connection by bringing up a new page. The autoscroll feature can support an online chat session with another user. You can view incoming text automatically without having to use the scroll bar to move down the page. You can also output text at the same time in an adjacent window without interrupting the incoming text stream. To implement the autoscroll feature, page creators and server administrators use Netscape’s autoscrolling tool. Autoscroll is an HTTP header
