script-based method to control scroll-bars in IE or firefox ?

Question

Either in java or vbasic. I can control lots of properties, but
not that one. I don't want to install a compiler, thx.

Answer 1

You can use JavaScript and css attributes of scroll bars. But make sure what u do for ie, works in firefox. most of times, you JavaScript code does not give the similar results for other browser and you have to write browser dependent code by first guessing what is the browser currently used.

Answer 2

In a browser you'll need to use a javascript function. Setting the document.[element].scrollTop in pixels will position the scroll bar. This is somewhat browser dependent.
