    Hi

    I'm having a bit of a problem with javascript. I want to implement a scroll function for a group of thumbnail images kept in a div with a certain height. I have a 'down' button, and when the user clicks (onmousedown), I want these thumbnail images to scroll.

    I have code in a function to shift the div up one pixel. I have attached a behaviour to this down button so that onmousedown, it will continually scroll the div, which is something like it is below. 
    scroll_button.onmousedown = function()
{
     scrollDown();
}

    My problem is that the div only moves once, instead of continually like I want it to. Surely if I wanted it to move once, I would use onclick instead. Google actually shows nothing on this for some strange reason. Is there anything simple I am missing. I tried using the setTimeout() function but that didn't make a difference.

    Thanks
