Is this one good for scrolling an iframe ?

This is an excerpt from my sample design :

http://hdd001.republika.pl/scrollbar/test.htm

I need to place a graphic custom vertical scrollbar into green area so the content of an iframe would be scrollable. Can I use this script to get this done or this is more div oriented ? I can wrap the content of source iframe files with <div> if necessary like in this script :

http://www.vicsjavascripts.org.uk/CustomScrollBars/CustomScrollBars.htm

BTW: Is there a good alternative to an iframe ? I mean something that behaves almost exactly same : a) can have transparent background (<object> can't) b) can be addressed by hyperlinks in an easy way (which means that hyperlink doesn't call a js script with a html filename as a parameter).

>If you're using an IFRAME, just stick with an IFRAME.

I'm using an IFRAME only because this is an easy nesting container that can have transparent background, but I'm open to use anything else like that.

>It's a lot easier to just reconsider your "need" for a custom graphic scrollbar!

It  is not, there is no way back from the layout point where I'm now so I have to find a way to use a graphic scrollbar that can be positioned.

>Really, I don't recommend people use this script anymore.

Really, it turns out that your script might be my only solution.
I wanted to use this modern one :

but there is no howto for an iframes and for not having a scrollbar sticked to the container

>This script was originally written as an IFRAME alternative back in the day

so may can work in my case

>(so yes, it meets the criteria at the end of your post)

maybe but I have some problems with an implementation

OK, let's assume this sample layout :

http://hdd001.republika.pl/vertical/02.htm

content will be loaded into yellow area and scrollbar should be in the green area (left or right it doesn't matter) so it would scroll the content

size of the container (wrapped with black border) can change and so scrollbar shall

Any chance I'll find a way how to use your scripts to get this working ?

Right  now I've managed to make some use of that old mentioned script, results are here :

http://hdd001.republika.pl/test/02.htm

the outer scrollbar is scrolling but I need to get inner one that will adjust it's height
when container height will change

as you see, what I have now is very crippled, your script is much superior but I still try to figure out how to code it to my layout

Using your script I can place the scrollbar whenever I want and mouse wheel is working. Vic's script is very simple and can control an iframe, your's have desired scrollbar; maybe you can add some code to your script so :

var  content = new DHTMLScroller('content', '');

I  can name="content" the frame.

OK, I found alternative solution :

and so my example looks like this :

http://hdd001.republika.pl/test/03.htm  (unfortunatelly no knob)

and maybe this can help in adding iframe feature to your script

>I don't have any major plans to modify this script,

major  ??? this Dynamic Drive code is so short, I think that you are able to write something like that as an add-on to your script, IMHO this is what donations are also for

>and it contains its own positioning engine too.

but what worries me is the fact that this positioning is for root page and not a specified div

btw: I have some problems while loading/reloading page under FF & Safari, browser just hangs on 'please wait'

don't you think that getting a slider for this Dynamic Drive script can be an easier way than redesigning the whole page ?
