    Scrollbars within HTML

    Hi,

    Is there a way to add a scrollbar within a html file, just like
    buttons and other form items.

    I want it to invoke an applet function every time a scrolling event
    occurs.

    Thank you,
    Siamak

      No - although I suppose you could make some attempt at shoving too much
      content into a suitably styled container.

      With the greatest of respect: no you don't.

      What are you really trying to achieve?

          You can use CSS with overflow: scroll applied to a <div> in your HTML.
          Real question, as you've been asked already, is what you're trying to
          achieve in the end (not what form you imagine the solution to take).

              Unfortunately this only works in IE (at least in V6.1)

              <html><head>
              <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaS cript">
              function itscrolled(){
              pos.innerText = scrollform.scro ller.scrollLeft ;
              }
              </script>
              <title>Date and time</title>
              </head>
              <body>
              <p id="pos">No value yet</p>
              <form method="get" action="none" id="scrollform" >
              <textarea rows="1" cols="20" id="scroller" name="scroller"
              onScroll="itscr olled();" wrap="off">
              ________<snip> (lots of underscores) <snip>_________ ______
              </textarea>
              </form>
              </body></html>


              Opera and Firebird both don't support the OnScroll event, nither do they
              support the scrollLeft attribute (Opera returns the x position of the
              textarea). Havn't tried others yet.
