Hi, how can I make a vertical scroller (I mean a java-script scroller, not using frames and ...... ) without using a frame? Is there any address that I can download the ready program too?! this time just copy & paste!

I got one.
+ Highly flexible. Built-in custom tool tips.
- DOM compliant browsers only (sorry, I do not cater stone age)
here is demo:

if it does not do what you need, I can do custom modification for you.

Thanx vladdy, you're really kind, but I need 2 things :
1- I wana put it in one of the <td> tags of <table>, I mean I wana put it in a table's cell, but the problem is that that cell has to have a background picture, the way that you wrote it, I think doesn't allow me to put that background picture there.
2- I need to scroll buttons, I don't want that my text keeps scrolling and whenever someone goes on that, it stops. I need to scrolling buttons

Is this possible to make? ( sorry, but I don't know beans about these stuff, coz of that maybe my questions look funny, also, do you know any free e-book or something that I learn these stuff from?)

Thanx in advance

Instead of using the <DIV> element for the scroller you should be able to put it directly into the table cell:

<TD ID="VTLM"
STYLE="background: url(picture); height: NNpx; overflow: hidden !important;"></TD>

If you need ability to scroll when user goes over to the scroller:
scrollbar always on is simple change:

<TD ID="VTLM"
STYLE="background: url(picture); height: NNpx; overflow: auto !important;"></TD>

showing it only on mouseover would require some customization, but doable.

Or do you not want it to scroll by itself at all??? Then you do not need any JavaScript: just specify the overflow of the TD as scroll...
