Customizing Scrollbars...

[genii]

Hi all.. I don't know if this is possible (or if I can even explain it properly) .. but here goes...

I have a 'side bar' type frame on my page with links that open up to the right of it. Is it possible to scroll through the links on the side bar WITHOUT using a scroll bar.. something like up and down buttons?? I've found TONS of info on changing colors and sizes but nothing on alternate solutions to scrolling.

Ja, the javascript functions window.scrollBy(horizPixels, vertPixels) and window.scrollTo(xPosition, yPosition) functions will let you scroll a page.

So, you would:
a) set up your frameset to have the sidebar frame set to scrolling=no.
b) put button, text, graphic links in a couple of div tags at the top and bottom of your page which call the scrollBy function.
c) add some extra code to reposition your divs at the top and bottom of your page after each scroll so they don't scroll off the page.
