	DHTML Lab: Scrollbars for Netscape Navigator Layers - dhtmlab.com
		Explorer 4, on the other hand, has the ability to add system scrollbars to any element, but external file display by positioned elements is clumsy to implement and it is even clumsier to attempt an element load after initial page display.
		These have always been awkward for users, who expect an operating-system scrollbar to appear, thumb and all, whenever an element is scrollable.
		The scrollbar will adapt to the external file length, and function just as an operating system scrollbar would.

	Scrollbar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: )
		A scrollbar, or slider, is a graphical widget in a GUI with which continuous text, pictures or anything else can be scrolled, i.e., viewed even if it does not fit into the space in a computer display, window, or viewport.
		Usually designed as a long rectangular area on one or two sides of the viewing area, containing a bar (or wiper) that can be dragged along a trough to move the body of the document as well as two arrows on either end for precise adjustments.
		Scrollbars can be seen as a computer representation of a thumb, with which you thumb through pages of documents.

	Scrollbars (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The scrollbar alters which part of the object is currently visible inside the viewer control: it slides the view across the object in one axis (horizontal or vertical).
		Scrollbars should be aligned in both directions with the view they are affixed to on the axis they control.
		Scrollbars should affect the view to which they are affixed in realtime: as the user drags or clicks the view should change.

	Scrollbars (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Scrollbars are usually used when the image or text area is too large to fit the viewing area.
		Alternatively one could be used as a slider control, which records the numerical position of the "thumb", somewhere between the specified min and max.
		A Scrollbar object can have its value changed by moving the thumb, clicking one of the arrows or clicking the space between the thumb and an arrow.

	Scrollbars
		In other words, horizontal scrollbars should span the full length of the viewer control, and vertical scrollbars should span the full height of the viewer control.
		Scrollbars should only be used affixed to a view that they actively alter, not used as a generic continuous input control.
		Don't use a scrollbar as a replacement for a slider.

	Understand .NET Scrollbars - The Code Project - C# Controls
		I decided to write a little test application to study scrollbars and how the different properties affect the visual and functional aspects of a scrollbar.
		The thumb, so that it reflects the visible portion of the document proportional to the entire document, which is represented by the entire track height (or width, for horizontal scrollbars).
		How to set the scrollbar so that you can correctly display sub-page changes when the user moves the thumb or uses the arrow buttons at the edges of the scrollbar.

	TORN SYSTEMS ::: TUTORIALS ::: XHTML ::: The Horizontal scrollbar bug in XHTML pages (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The horizontal scrollbars that appear in some browsers are caused by CSS bugs in those browsers, not by layout errors.
		Content is wrapped and scrollbars are added, even when the content does not exceed the dimensions of the object.
		But the content that used to be visible thanks to the horizontal scrollbar lies now outside the viewing port of the frame or window.

	Java 2 Platform SE v1.3.1: Class ScrollPane
		Specifies that horizontal/vertical scrollbars should always be shown regardless of the respective sizes of the scrollpane and child.
		Specifies that horizontal/vertical scrollbar should be shown only when the size of the child exceeds the size of the scrollpane in the horizontal/vertical dimension.
		Returns the height that would be occupied by a horizontal scrollbar, which is independent of whether it is currently displayed by the scroll pane or not.

	13.11 Scrollbars and Sliders
		The situation is so bad, in fact, that you really cannot count on scrollbars working in a cross-platform environment unless you thoroughly test on all the platforms your application is likely to run on.
		For a horizontal scrollbar, rather than having the maximum correspond to the highest value the left side of the slider can reach, it is the highest value the right side of the slider can reach.
		The percent of the total scrollbar length wasted this way tends to be proportional to the range of scrollbar values, with a shorter range having more serious problems.

	BUG: Scrollbars Disappear if Objects Placed Past Certain Length (Site not responding. Last check: )
		After placing objects on a form that has scrollbars, the objects will not be seen and the scrollbars will disappear when the form is run.
		To ensure that the scrollbars are visible at all resolutions, any objects placed on the form would have to be set to the above formula using 640x480 as the base for the video resolution.
		It is not by design that the scrollbars disappear if an object is placed past these points: the scrollbars should stay active, but the user would not be able to scroll to any object that has been placed past these coordinates.

		I used a variety of bright colors to show some of the scrollbar attribute property colors that are possible to change.
		The screen shot above is a magnification of the colored scrollbar for easier viewing of each of the scrollbar attributes.
		To give your form's textarea a different color scrollbar to that of your body, first designate a class rule in the style tag, using same scrollbar attributes that you used above for the browser scrollbars.

	Scroll Div Content with Graphical Scrollbars Using DHTML
		Scrollbars, which can be set up using the graphics of your choice.
		So, obviously, if your implementation will require regular window scrollbars, and if you do not wish all your document content to be centered, then you would need to remove these specifications.
		You can create your own graphics for use in the scrollbar and adjust their sizes and positions in the style sheet.

	Internal scrollbars (Site not responding. Last check: )
		FW: On Windows (not sure about the other platforms) the scrollbar for a widget is always within that widget's border rather than simply next to it, to emphasize that they act as one unit.
		Before invoking this procedure, you should create your scrollbar and scrollable widget as usual within a frame, then provide the frame and widget in question in that order as arguments.
		DKF: Interestingly, many people don't think of scrollbars as separate widgets, either attaching them to the widgets they scroll (as seems to be assumed here) or embedding ordinary widgets within a scrollable portal.

	Scrolling and Scrollbars (Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox)
		The main guideline for a scrollbar's look-and-feel is simple: Use your platform's standard scrollbar, which is what users know and expect.
		Other problems here include: the scrollbar was outside the area it controls; the top and bottom arrows look like compass pointers; and the scrollbar had no slider indicator.
		Unless your scrollbars behave like scrollbars, users might not be able to bring the desired content into view.

		Also there are variations in current scrollbars: in the buttons placed at top and bottom (one arrow top and bottom, both at one end, both at both ends), in the information added to the scrollbar itself (e.g.
		In fact, the early scrollbars in the Smalltalk and Interlisp environments (the direct ancestors of our current WIMP interface), had user-configurable scrollbars, which could be made to appear either side.
		In fact, the Interlisp scrollbar had a quite different interaction from current ones, with velocity-based scrolling, and the curious behaviour whereby the scrollbars appeared as you moved off the left of a window.

	Custom DHTML Scrollbars » Thirteenth Parallel
		Making a scrollbar is actually deceptively easy and the principles described here should be applicable to many development environments.
		If you want your scrollbar to work with older browsers or you are using Flash the code here will be different.
		All that is left is to make so that dragging the scrollbar actually scrolls the content.

	Coloring scrollbars (Site not responding. Last check: )
		It is possible to have the scrollbars colored and still have your (X)HTML and main CSS validated, as long as you wrap your scrollbar styling code inside conditional comments.
		Some times the web designer chooses colors which make it difficult to tell which component is the scrollbar face and which is the the scrollbar track.
		Remember that for people with poor eyesight there may not be enough contrast between the scrollbar track color and the face color.

	Xtreme .NET Talk - Datagrid Scrollbars
		The scrollbars dont seem to be enabled until I adjust the width of one of the columns manually.
		It just seems strange that although the scrollbars appear after the data is filled, it wont let me use them until ive adjusted the row height or column width (during runtime).
		Well, I have the datagrid columns at fixed widths so there is no need for the horizontal scrollbar, yet it still appears on the grid and at times it blocks the last row from being seen.

	Web Shoppe \| CSS \| Custom Scrollbars
		With the coming of CSS, scrollbars are suddenly seen as part of the web-page, rather than part of the browser.
		Using the chroma CSS filter, you can now get a transparency or semi-transparency effect on the scrollbars of your iframes and div layers, such as the one on my free soft layout.
		One last scrollbar trick is to baffle the viewer by placing it on the left side of the browser window.

	colored scrollbars and stuff - MozillaZine Forums (Site not responding. Last check: )
		It would be cool to have the scrollbar that goes with your theme semi transparent and see the color of the web site scrollbar come half way through.
		Although we can debate on whether or not colored scrollbars are practical or excellent, it is a feature that is widely recognized and employed.
		I would have to say that the scrollbars should be left standard, as I see no need to allow those changes.

	Cool Web Scrollbars - Colored Scrollbars For Your Website Made Simple
		The program allows you to choose which part of the scrollbar you wish to color simply by passing your mouse cursor over a portion of the pictured scrollbar example and clicking.
		Once you define the colors of your scrollbars, one click generates the needed HTML code and displays it in a small window for you to copy and paste into the HTML code of your page.
		You can also now save your scrollbar color schemes to a file and re-load them into the program at a later time to change any color values or re-generate the code for another page should you lose your original code.

	Surfin' Safari
		I can move the thumb around and push the arrow buttons, etc., and the scrollbars in the overflow block fully respect z-index etc., and only get events if the layout engine decides they're on top.
		Posted at 02:57 PM I now have scrollbars appearing and disappearing more or less on cue when overflow:auto is specified.
		My next task (after fixing the few layout glitches that remain) will be to get the scrollbars to show the right thumb proportion and to enable/disable properly in overflow:scroll mode.
