DHTML Scroller v4.0 RC2

This script can load a file into a div, and scroll it via simple function calls and a fully draggable and sizeable scrollbar. It's small and quite fast to load its content.

One of the major reasons to use this script is that you can combine this with popup menus or other navigation controls that a) Stay onscreen as you scroll without using frames, and b) Other divs (like the fadeout effect used in this site and popup menus) can move over or under the page. Also, loading only the content for a page, rather than all the menus again, makes browsing very fast indeed.

Note: This script was designed for "version 4" browsers and is now outdated. Please consider HTMLHttpRequest instead.
