I'm trying to a layout with the content in a star-shaped "frame" (don't worry, I know there's no way to actually shape a frame), and instead of scrollbars, have an image map that looks like it's part of the content frame as the scroller. Any ideas? Is this even possible?

I've used a scrollbar that, when you hover over it, it moves, and instead of arrows its a picture. Is that maybe what you're talking about?

I'm pretty sure there's a code to get rid of the scroll bar and if you just put an image map there it sould work fine... I dont' know the code but I bet it's CSS.

I'm trying to do the scrolling-thing (because it's not exactly a scrollbar!) as an image map...and I'm not entirely sure how you'd do that...

Just modify the script of your choosing.

They work by using JavaScript event handlers - onmouseover and onmouseout. All you need to do is place the applicable event handlers into the links for each graphic in your image map.

If you need further clarification or help, let me know.

that kinda went over my head...

this place has a few good scripts. i think the one you are talking about is the "window script" it can be found here. http://dhtmlcentral.com/script/script.asp?id=16

Is this what you are trying to do?

Only instead of text, or little images, you want to use an image map, with the "hot spots" of the image working to do the scrolling?

Is so, then grab the code here:

And I, or someone else, can help you modify it.

If I am not even close to what you're looking for, let me know.
