There are two ways to get the DOM element out of the jQuery object.
Assuming $msgs from your code example, you could get the first message
as a DOM element like this:
var msg = $msgs.get(0);
// or
var msg = $msgs[0];
// then get scrollHeight
msg.scrollHeight

OK
the scrollHeight works, but what with scrollTop?
I want to make something like this:
obj.scrollTop = obj.scrollHeight;
I need scroll down this element on an event.
                        var i = 0;
                        while (json_arr[i].msg) {
                            var json = json_arr[i];
                            var $msg = $('<div></div>').addClass(opts.classes.msg).clone();
                            var $a = $('<span></span>').addClass(opts.classes.author).clone
();
                            var $t = $('<span></span>').addClass(opts.classes.time).clone
();
                            var $cont = $('<span></span>').addClass(opts.classes.cont).clone
();
                            $a
                                .text( json.from )
                                .moTooltip({ initData : { id : opts.from }})
                            ;
                            $t
                                .text( json.date );
                            $cont
                                .text( json.text );
                            $msg
                                .append($a)
                                .append($t)
                                .append($cont)
                                .appendTo($win.find('.'+opts.classes.msgsCont));
                            i++;
                        }
                        status('check',2);
                        $top = $win.c(opts.classes.handler);
                        if ( json_arr[0].from != opts.from ) $top.pulse(3,80);
                        var $msgs = $win.c(opts.classes.msgs);
                        var Dmsgs = $msgs[0]; // here is object to scroll
// and what there?
thx,
