disable a scroll bar

tyris · Jan 26, 2001

hi all,
i do have a table with many lines.
I want to use the down key and the up key to navigate in the table.

In fact, as i have many lines in the table, i have done a table in a table, so that a scroll bar apears on the right.
The problem is that when i press the down (or up) key, the line changes, but the scroll bar too, so that my selectd lines is no more visible ...

is there an option that removes the scroll bar moves by pressing a key ? i mean, the scroll bar should only be used with the mouse.

here is the code (and you can see the result at :

(just test the table, the rest is not working because there's no IIS server behind this template))

<TABLE ID='list' ALIGN='left' VALIGN='top' WIDTH='100%' CELLSPACING='0' onkeydown='return list_onkeydown()'>
<TR CLASS='LIST_ROWS' OnClick='Change_Sel("1&quot

;'>
[more code]
</tr>
<TR CLASS='LIST_ROWS' OnClick='Change_Sel("2&quot

;'>
[more code]
</tr>
</table>

function list_onkeydown() {
switch(window.event.keyCode) {
case 38:
if(CurRow>0) Change_Sel(CurRow-1);
break;
case 40:
if(CurRow<list.rows.length-1 Change_Sel(CurRow+1);
break;
}
}
function Change_Sel(nRow) {
nbRow = list.rows.length;

for(i=0; i<nbRow; i++) {
list.rows.item(i).className = "LIST_ROWS";
}
list.rows.item(nRow).className = "LIST_ROW_SEL";
CurRow = nRow;

}

Note sure if this is what you are looking for but here it is. Add the Scroll=0 to the <BODY> tag.

<body scroll=0>

This will disable the scrollbar in the current document. There may be other ways to to it but this is the easiest.

Correction to my previous post. It is <body scroll="no"> if you use "0" it won't work, sorry about that.
