iframe customisation

CH1LL1 · 08-05-2005, 12:01 PM

Hey

Is there a way to customise the look of scroll bars and arrows when using inline frames? Needs to be compatible with the top browsers.

Thanks in advance

I've never done it before but i would think it would be as simple as changing the look of the browser window's scrollbar considering that an iframe is basically a page within a page.

ah, can anyone tell me how to do this please?

thanks, but can you make it so the bar dissapears, so you just have an arrow at the top and bottom? Or does this involve different coding? Two nice graphical arrows would be sweet.

do a web search for scrollbar scripts, I'm sure you'll find something, :-)

scrollbar CSS only works in IE AFAIK (unless other browsers have started to support this ludicrous non-standard, but Mozilla doesn't).

What you want to use is Javascript. Check out the scrollers section on DynamicDrive. They have a few examples.

Thanks, plenty of tasty Java on that site. I think that's the way to go.
