Re: Scrolling multiple-select, IE vs Firefox

window.setTimeout is your friend.
To scroll the selection into view in your second example in IE, you may
replace the last line of code in addit with:
window.setTimeout(function(sel){return function() {
sel.options[sel.options.length - 1].selected=true;}}(sel),50);
