My problem is a bit off the cuff here, so I'll try to explain this best I can.
I have a text area, having css of #object{overflow:hidden;resize:none;}. I am trying to prevent it from spawning scroll bar while also resizing itself. This textarea is synced with an external script's console meaning it updates. By default however, it will stay at the top unless you highlight text, dragging off to the bottom of the element. This would be the only way to scroll down other than with arrow keys, naturally.
Programmatically, is there any way to keep the text area down to the bottom upon updating? It would be nice to have it auto-scroll to accommodate its use case.

to select the textarea element with getElementById . Then we set the textarea. scrollTop property to the textarea. scrollHeight value to scroll the textarea to the bottom of it.
use css position top keep it at the bottom {position : relative; bottom:0;} . Remove the css property once the user has scroll.
position:fixed; An element with fixed position is positioned relative to the browser window. It will not move even if the window is scrolled. Show activity on this post. Now, it should not scroll with the rest of the page or the parent element.
the easiest way would be to use "readonly" instead. another way would be to use a fixed-height div will overflow:scroll that looks like a textarea but isn't.
You can do it by javascript. Set the scrollTop property of text area with scrollHeight property like below:
document.getElementById("textarea").scrollTop = document.getElementById("textarea").scrollHeight
