The core of the solution is a function that adds more dates to the page (or loads more stuff in real-life) while we're at the page end.

We can call it immediately and add as a `window.onscroll` handler.

The most important question is: "How do we detect that the page is scrolled to bottom?"

Let's use window-relative coordinates.

The document is represented (and contained) within `<html>` tag, that is `document.documentElement`.

We can get window-relative coordinates of the whole document as `document.documentElement.getBoundingClientRect()`, the `bottom` property will be window-relative coordinate of the document bottom.

For instance, if the height of the whole HTML document is `2000px`, then:

```js
// when we're on the top of the page

If we scroll `500px` below, then:

```

Please note that the `bottom` can't be `0`, because it never reaches the window top. The lowest limit of the `bottom` coordinate is the window height (we assumed it to be `600`), we can't scroll it any more up.

We can obtain the window height as `document.documentElement.clientHeight`.

For our task, we need to know when the document bottom is not no more than `100px` away from it (that is: `600-700px`, if the height is `600`).

So here's the function:

```js
function populate() {

# Endless page

Create an endless page. When a visitor scrolls it to the end, it auto-appends current date-time to the text (so that a visitor can scroll more).

Like this:

[iframe src="solution" height=200]

Please note two important features of the scroll:

1. **The scroll is "elastic".** We can scroll a little beyond the document start or end in some browsers/devices (empty space below is shown, and then the document will automatically "bounces back" to normal).
2. **The scroll is imprecise.** When we scroll to page end, then we may be in fact like 0-50px away from the real document bottom.

So, "scrolling to the end" should mean that the visitor is no more than 100px away from the document end.

P.S. In real life we may want to show "more messages" or "more goods".

# Up/down button

Create a "to the top" button to help with page scrolling.

It should work like this:
- While the page is not scrolled down at least for the window height -- it's invisible.
- When the page is scrolled down more than the window height -- there appears an "upwards" arrow in the left-top corner. If the page is scrolled back, it disappears.
- When the arrow is clicked, the page scrolls to the top.

Like this (top-left corner, scroll to see):

[iframe border="1" height="200" link src="solution"]
