well i have this small problem...
i guess by now everyone is familliar with the mouse that has a scroller on top...

in the layout i made, i absolute postioned a picture...
then i absolute positioned a frame on top of it...
however, my mouse scroller won't scroll on the frame....
if you want to see what i mean, see here (http://www32.brinkster.com/stephenspeaks/index3.htm)...
it's the frame on top of the notepad that won't work...
but the buttons for up/down works...
jsut not the mouse scroller...
it's kinda hard to explain...
i've been working on it for days now...
but to no avail...
any help would be highly appreciated! :)

thanks so much!

I know the cause, but not really how to fix it. The problem with having a top frame is that your browser can't figure out which frame to scroll with, like, if you were to press the Pageup key it would not work. The problem is that you have frames, and it woun't really work. Hmm, mabey there is some java for this. I'll have a look

EDIT:
May I also add that those icons are copyright so I sugest you take them off and make your own.

Please don't double post....use the edit button. -Mod.

using IE6...

there is a tagboard space that is scrollable using the wheel.

there is a notepad area that seems to be long enough not to require the use of scrolling for most pages. clicking on the codes page makes a scroller appear and my wheel works on that just fine.

can i guess you are testing in Netscape7 browser? that one usually forgets to put the focus on an iframe area, thus the wheel scroller problem. if so, perhaps a javascript solution to put the "focus" on the iframe.

also... using 800x600 resolution here. your layout is a bit out of whack. (just a note).

Click inside the iframe and then use the scroller thing :) When doing this you also must keep the cursor inside the iframe as well
