Description

The Kendo UI for jQuery Chat supports endless scrolling that allows users to load older messages on demand as they scroll up through the conversation history.

The current demo demonstrates how to configure the Chat component to load additional messages when the user reaches the top of the message list.

This Chat example is part of a unique collection of hundreds of jQuery demos, with which you can see all Kendo UI for jQuery components and their features in action. View the source code of the demos from the library or directly adapt, and edit them and their theme appearance in Kendo UI for jQuery Dojo or ThemeBuilder.
