Hi Guys,

 

Does anyone know of a nice Javascript/Jquery Overflow Scrollbar solution.

 

I currently have a div with a set height (due to the restraints of my client's design whims!) and he now wants to add too much copy in, so I need it to scroll, but nicely, not with default scroll-bars ideally.

 

If anyone has come across a nice, easy to implement scrollbar solution, please post it up

 

Thanks

overflow: scroll;

 

?

I prefer to keep the scrollbar near the screen edge. Then it complies with Fitt's law - making it infinity large to grab hold of.

lol - yeah I know all about overflow:scroll;

 

Thanks for that - but what I mean is, does anyone know of a nice Jquery Styling method so it doesn't look like the default scroll bar. It needs to fit in with the aesthetics of the site

You have the jQuery UI widgets. Think I remember there being a host of different controls...

Thanks guys - anyone actually used it before? I am just really looking for some forum feedback on people's experience using something like this.

Not for any live sites. Just quick play-arounds long time ago.

 

I avoid changing UI elements that belong to the browser - it complicates things, increased chance of doing something the user doesn't expect and usually isn't worth the effort. IMO.

9 times out of 10 I would completely agree with you Tom; but the design wasn't built for a scroll bar and the default one in any browser at all looks AWFUL!! lol

 

It needs a nice graphical one in place - I will take a look at the one recommended. Thanks guys

I use the jquery ui slider loads, it's really really useful.

 

Although i have never used it for a scrollbar, but you can see it in use on my contact page in a different way

lovely use of it on your contact page mate - great stuff

 

Cheers
