for some reason the drop down menus are hidden behind the textarea is there a way to force it to the top?

i create the menu first but if i switch it round it makes no difference

JMenuBar menuBar = new JMenuBar();

JMenu menu = new JMenu("Options");

menu.add(logOnAction);

menu.add(logOffAction);

menuBar.add(menu);

this.setJMenuBar(menuBar);

lblUserName = new JLabel("User Name: ");

lblUserName.setVisible(true);

c.weightx = 0.5;

c.gridx = 0;

c.gridy = 0;

c.fill = GridBagConstraints.HORIZONTAL;

jPanel.add(lblUserName, c);

txtChat = new TextArea("", 10, 5, TextArea.SCROLLBARS_VERTICAL_ONLY);

txtChat.setVisible(true);

this.add(txtChat);

> is there a way to control the jscrollbar so it shows the info from the bottom firstit should automatically follow the caret, but if not, when adding text, includejtxtChat.setCaretPosition(jtxtChat.getDocument().getLength());
