HTML - Scrolling Left To Right

Hi,
I'm working on a movie database for a device that supports html. It only supports basic html though. For my index page I the characters A-Z (as well as genres) to select movies starting with that certain letter. The movie covers display in a row underneath. I want to find a way keep the characters A-Z centered in the top of the screen so when I browse further right (or left) of the screen it stays there similar to the way the background stays in place. At the moment when I browse left and right the A-Z moves with it (so it ends up moving off the screen). Does anyone know a way to keep it in place like the background. The files I'm editing are in .xsl format. They are used inconjunction with movie collectorz to make html pages. Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated.
Remeber it only supports basic html, no javascript.
Thanks.

Okay...so here's a tricky situation that I cannot find ANY examples of how it can work...IF it can even work. I'm trying to create this without the use of flash...Thanks for any help! Seriously!

So...I'll try to explain this in the best way that I can as I don't have an example to show...

There's a fixed background image. On top of that image is another image (exactly the same as the one below but a different color). There is a horizontal scrollbar below that controls the visibility of the image on top. Naturally, I thought a mask would be the best idea...but can a mask be scrolled. The image itself would not scroll at all....just the visibility of the image on top, think of it as a scroller that highlights a specific "strip" of an image and can be moved from side to side without the actual image scrolling...

Man...I really hope this makes sense!

Thanks for helping a girl out!

ima noob. To this forum and html as well so please be gentle. i brought lube...lol

I'm trying to change the color of the 'bar' between two frames. The frame on the left I have set to 'no scroll' and i want to change the color of it. I know how to change the color of scroll bars, arrows... but how do i change just the bar? I've been using JS to change the colors of the scroll bar. Is there another way? like css.

Hi, I'm making a website for my clan and I was hoping that someone here could help me with a problem. The test site is: http://deltagaming.org/matt/testweb/

As you can see the bottom seems to cut out with no scroll bars to help out. I tried adding an overflow command to the css styles sheet but no dice. I also added it to the template file too and still nothing. I couldn't post the main index here because its too big but my style sheet fit + you can view it through my website using a page source.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I have a div tag that is scrolled vertically. I found some java code he https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM...scrollIntoView that allows me to use a "Scroll to Top" button at the bottom of the DIV to help navigate it back to the top.

Problem is, that I want the page to remain in the same position, whereas this seems to be making my page scroll to the bottom at the same time as scrolling the div to the top.

Has anyone got any ideas on howto scroll a div to the top, without the page reloading, or scrolling?

Thanks
Jay

What makes their advertising appealing enough to make you want to shove a cancer stick down your throat? Camel cigarette ads use rhetorical means to fool its demographic, you, into the habit of smoking.</p>
<p style="font-family:verdana;font-size:90%;color:green">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The central illusion which the advertisement aims to create is an image of a rugged man, which the customer in turn can become--provided that he buys a pack of Camel Lights. The first words that come to mind are cool, masculine, and rugged. The tattoo makes him appear to be a ruffian, a delinquent, a desperado. These are all rhetorical justifications that make one want to smoke Camel Lights, just once. But what really defines the ad is its sleek image, orange velour and the cancer sticks dancing around like they were in Vegas as if they were going to die tomorrow.</p>

<p style="font-family:verdana;font-size:90%;color:green">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Who on earth would want to buy these cunningly disguised serpents. We look at the man smoking cigarettes, his apparent countenance of ruggedness and individualistic style which we long to obtain, when in reality he is masquerading himself in a body of lies and deception. This is a form of ethos, which we, as viewers convinced to be truthful; reliable. But little do we know that its true nature hides behind a face of lies. We put our trust in the supposition that the advertisers are telling the truth; that camel lights will make us a little more like him. A brief glance at this advertisement might not make us question if what we're told is the truth. That's when Logos comes into the play. Looking at the advertisement, its reasoning seems logical: people who smoke, like the man in the advertisement, are cool; those who don't are not. What this carefully woven structure neglects to mention is that those cool kids are far more likely to contract cancer and other dangerous ailments.</p>
<p style="font-family:verdana;font-size:90%;color:green">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our society is built around these stereotypes of the rugged man and the classic Marilyn Monroe pose. The cigarette companies purposefully create these rhetorical devices, which appeal to us, the consumers. This not only makes you want to buy the product, it makes you buy into the delusion which cigarette companies have createdl</p>
<p style="font-family:verdana;font-size:90%;color:green">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In conclusion, not only do Camel Light advertisements use certain rhetorical devices, but influence they way society thinks and acts. In short, advertising perpetuates stereotypes. Camel Lights, just chooses to perpetuate the stereotype of the rugged man.</p>

Hi,

How can I create a row of images with a horizontal scrollbar?


I'd be really grateful to your help!

Regards
Rain Lover

I would like to have vertical scrolling in a table cell. The cell may be empty or may contain up to 2000 characters. If it does contain more than will fit in the horizontal space I'd like it to wrap and be visible, pushing the next row down so the cell displays the whole set of text within the cell area. Only then should the scrollbar show up.

If the user enters data, I'd like it to do the same thing. Wrap on word boundaries and stay visible rather than scrolling a single line horizontally.

Can I do this in html? Or, at worst, with a little CSS? Or, even worse, very simple javascript?

I dont know how to explain it better but how do i do this http://www.target.com/Movies-MMB/b/r...ode=1259488011


so at the bottom of my page i can add 4 to 5 different products and allow for those left and right buttons show more...

any direction would help thanks
