I’m working on an application that creates HTML log files. I’m tired of having to manually reload and scroll to the bottom in the browser to see the latest entries.
A solution that does not really satisfy me is using the Firefox plugins ReloadEvery and ScrollyFox. In many situations reloading frequency and scrolling speed are just to slow.
Of course I could actually use tail, but I would prefer a rendered HTML page.
Do you have any suggestions? Firefox extensions are preferred, but any other tip is appreciated, too.

If there is a possibility to control the log structure – one possible solution would be to add an anchor such as:
<a name='end' />
just above </body> tag and then access the log using log.html#end – which coupled with an auto-refresh functionality (either by using a meta tag, JavaScript or a Firefox extension).
