I have a ASP.NET page that I designed in a 1024/768 pixel resolution. Some users have their resolution set to 800/600 and as a result have to scroll each time to get to the bottom.

What function can I use for the body onload maybe .. so that when the page opens .. it scrolls to the bottom automatically as that will be the optimum view for my users with 800/600 resolution?

You can use anchors or scrollTo. Here's an example using scrollTo to get to the bottom onload of the page:
Code: 
<script language=javascript>
function scrollToBottom() {
   if (document.body.scrollHeight) {
      window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);
   }
   else if (screen.height) {
      window.scrollTo(0, screen.height);
   }
}
</script>
<body onload='scrollToBottom()'>
<form name=blahForm>
<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
Test.
</form>
</body>

'same, but divided by 2:

Code: 
if (document.body.scrollHeight) {
      window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight[b]/2[/b]);
   }
   else if (screen.height) {
      window.scrollTo(0, screen.height[b]/2[/b]);
   }
