Javascript/DHTML help needed

Bard

Hi guys... I need ye'r help..!

I wonder is it possible to create a script in JavaScript/DHTML which will allow me to have a button - graphical or form - doesn't matter, - which makes your browser scroll down, say 300 pixels exactly... ?

Anyone any thoughts?

I'd do it with a simple <a name> and <a href> combination in HTML but unfortunately this isn't working quite as planned...

*Works fine in IE5, Im sure 4 would be okay too... Easy enough to convert to Javascript..

<script language="VBScript">

sub ScrollWindow(iScrollValue)

window.scrollBy 0,iScrollValue

end sub

</script>

<!-- Page contents -->

<input type=button onclick="ScrollWindow(300)" name=btnScroll>

well thats quite handy slosh I might use that one myself sometime. Oh and here is my attempt at a conversion, although you're probably done by now, and remember its just an attempt and it hasn't been tested.

<script language="Javascript">

function ScrollWindow(iScrollValue)
{
    window.scrollBy 0,iScrollValue
}

</script>

<!-- Page contents -->

<input type=button onclick="ScrollWindow(300)" name=btnScroll>

not sure how that works in java of course, I imagine you will have to alter the window.scrollby function/property whatever it is.

neway ta slosh

scrollBy(x,y) will scroll the window relative to where it is at the moment, but you can also use scrollTo(x,y) which will scroll the window absolutely. eg self.scrollTo(0,100) would scroll to 100 pixels down, no matter where you are.
