vertical scrolling web page

MartinF · Aug 20, 2003

Hi there,

Im about to start creating a web page to display reports. The report content will be displayed within a frame. What i am trying to achieve is to get the report to scroll verticaly until it reaches the bottom (as if you were manually pulling the scrollbar down) and then reset and strat scrolling again from the top.

I havent a clue how to do this, but do know the basics of Javascript, so if anyone can point me in the right direction, i would be most grateful

Thanks in advance

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<script language="javascript">
var scrollTimer;
function startScroll(){
if(document.body.scrollTop+document.body.clientHeight==document.body.scrollHeight){
window.scrollTo(0,0);
}
window.scrollTo(0,document.body.scrollTop+5);
scrollTimer=setTimeout('startScroll()',50);
}
function stopScroll(){
clearTimeout(scrollTimer);
}
</script>
</HEAD>

<BODY>
<input type="button" value="Start Scrolling" onclick="startScroll()">
<input type="button" value="Stop Scrolling" onclick="stopScroll()">
 
 
 
 
</BODY>
</HTML>
