</blockquote><br>Pretty nice. I don't like the part where it shows the scroll position
indicator and the scroll controls at the same time. Seems a bit
awkward. I do absolutely hate running my mouse all the way across the
screen just to find a little box to hit which scrolls at the rate that
the little box decides. Your method seems like it would have better
control for the scrolling and easier to use.<br>
<br>
Maybe instead of the popup method, try something a little different.<br>
1) When the mouse clicks and releases in the scroll box area, normal behavior happens.<br>
2) When the mouse clicks, but does not release (as in for dragging) advanced behavior begins.<br>
2a) The mouse disappears, and the indicators you created appear, but they appear in the location of the scroll position indicator.<br>2b) Dragging the mouse up scrolls up and dragging the mouse down scrolls down.<br>2c) When the mouse is released, the normal scroll position indicator reappears, and the mouse returns to normal function.</div>
