Example: Animating scroll with jQuery

A reader asked for an example of using the jQuery scroll code I had written a while back.  Based on that code, here is the example:

<div id="myDiv" style="width: 500px; height: 100px; overflow: auto; border: 1px solid black;"></div>
<form>
  <input type="text" id="myTextInput" />
  <input type="button" value="Send" id="postButton" />
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
  $(document).ready(function(){
      $('#postButton').click(function(){
      $('#myDiv').append($('#myTextInput').val() + '<br/>');
      $('#myTextInput').val('');
      $("#myDiv").animate({ scrollTop: $("#myDiv").attr("scrollHeight") }, 1000);
    });
  });
</script>

A simple, functional example.
