title: AutoScroll div content both ways
body: <p>I want to make a div autoscroll it's content. The content height is variable. Here is what I managed to work out, but if I set the height to .childElement.outerHeight or height, it will only scroll 78px, I don't know why.</p>
  
  <pre><code> var element = jQuery('#content');
              setInterval(scrollDown(element), 1000)
  
          function scrollDown(element) {
              var childElement = element.children();
              scrollAmount = childElement.outerHeight();
              element.animate({ scrollTop: 1000 }, 3000, null, scrollUp(childElement));
          }
          function scrollUp(element) {
              element.animate({ scrollTop: 0 }, 500);
          }
  
          });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any help is highly appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
  Sebastian</p>
