Script for <iframe>

[xposure]

Hello all.

I have an <iframe> in my document and don't want to use the traditional scroll bar (really messes up the design look). How can I go about putting an image in the document to hover over in order to scroll vertically? From my research up till now it appears that I must use a javascript.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

<edit> Also, I tried to use search but it does not appear to be working ... so if there is a thread already, I am sorry. If you could point me to it that would be great.

Use a Flash swf where you would normally put the iframe.

try using CSS for the iframe tag. something similar to what u use to change the color of the main scroll bar.

Howdy Scott,

Ideally ya dont want to use iframes man. They just suck in general for a lot of reasons. I don't know of any ways javascript wise to accomplish the image hovering scheme you're wanting besides the suggestion of using flash controlz made.

Otherwise a quick work around that can help is using css to set the scrollbar attributes like;

Body
{
scrollbar-face-color: #5A5A5A; scrollbar-shadow-color: #4F78D4;
scrollbar-highlight-color: #141E35; scrollbar-3dlight-color: #ffffff;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #414141; scrollbar-track-color: #3C5BA1;
scrollbar-arrow-color: #ffffff;
}

just alter the color values to suit your purpose and this will work atleast work in IE.

cheers!
