Scrolling scroller as well as Browsewith wheel on wheelmouse

Anybody got any ideas on how to have the scroller scroll by the mousewheel when pointing at the scroller and have the browser window scroll when pointing somewhere else other than the scroller.

I find scrolling the scroller with the mousewheel is very convinient but having to use the browser elevator bar to scroll the page is tedius.

Angus i sent a small donation and hope to send more sometime when my hobby finances allow... thanks for the great scrips they made it possible to create a much nicer site than i couls ever have done under my own steam!

Thanks in advance for any help

There is no question that it scrolls with the mouswheel. The question is how do i also make the mousewheel also scroll the main page as well.

Desirably when pointing at the scroller the wheel should scroll it... but when pointing at anywhere else on the Browser window should scroll the browser not the scroller.

Sorry for repeating most of my original post but seems you did not understand what it was asking.

Thanks again for your help with this

Thanks for the help

However this only partly works.

When  i point at the scroller both the Internet Explorer 7 window scrolls as well as the scroller... how perculiar.

But  when i point away from the scroller only the IE 7 windows scrolls which is correct.. Any ideas??

I'd add it to the content DIV area and ignore the bar maybe :).

With  transparent backgrounds to the content div area though I found some bugs in MSIE when I initially developed this script -- that's why this feature is not in the default script. Your luck might be better.

Angus here is my code tat works a treat

You can try it at http://www.ridgebacks.com.au

// *** SCROLLING  BY MOUSEWHEEL HANDLER - delete if you want to restore normal mousewheeling ***
var mwHandler = function(evt)
{// Following checks that the mouse is pointing over the Scroll area and if not it aborts the scroll
// so that the main IE window will scroll instead
//Set the numbers here to basedon the Left and Top and Height and Width of the scroller
var ScrollerTop = 437;
var ScrollerHeight = 300;
var ScrollerLeftOffset = 170;
var ScrollerBarWidth = 17;
var ScrollerBarOffset = 354;
var MouseX = event.clientX;
var MouseY = event.clientY;
if (MouseX  < (((page.winW()/2) - ScrollerLeftOffset) - (document.body.scrollLeft  + document.documentElement.scrollLeft))) return true;
if (MouseX >  (((page.winW()/2) + ScrollerBarOffset) + ScrollerBarWidth) - (document.body.scrollLeft  + document.documentElement.scrollLeft)) return true;
if (MouseY <  (ScrollerTop - (document.body.scrollTop + document.documentElement.scrollTop))) return true;
if (MouseY >  ((ScrollerTop + ScrollerHeight) - (document.body.scrollTop + document.documentElement.scrollTop)))  return true;
 evt=evt?evt:window.event;
  // You  have to manually specify a scroller name in here (like 'content').
 if  (evt.wheelDelta) content.scrollBy(evt.wheelDelta / (window.opera ? 3 : -3));
else if (evt.detail) content.scrollBy(evt.detail * 12);
 return false;
};
if (window.addEventListener  && !window.opera)
 window.addEventListener('DOMMouseScroll', mwHandler, false);
else window.onmousewheel = document.onmousewheel = mwHandler;

Whoa!

I read the commented JS ad way to hyragliphic for a simple bloke like me! cant even get a clue where a function to return current mouse pointer possition on the window or a function to return te amount the page is scrolled are hiding!

Any hints what these functions are called and how i may use them?

BTW i tried my page wich uses the scroller as well as your photomorpher and it doesnt fade the picures or load the HTML into the scroller in the latest version of Firefox at all. The Milonic menu system i used however does work in firefox. Any comments?

Thanks for your advice

Scroller still not working in Firefox (im sure its my fault though)

I have made some progress based on your advice - now your photomorpher works in firefox

I removed all the incorrect comment stuff and put it through the page validator and corrected many things that could matter. Some minor stuff i cant correct yet but should be not related to my current problem as they are not to do with the areas associated with the Scroller code.

The scroller Divs still do not appear this includes the main HTML text in the scroller as welll as the slider, thumb, up and down arrows.

Any thoughts? is this someting to do with layers i need to install in firefox?? its the lates firefox by the way.

Any help apreciated
