Example
To demonstrate the scroll() method, Listing 16-31 defines a frameset with a
document in the top frame (Listing 16-32) and a control panel in the bottom frame
(Listing 16-33). A series of buttons and text fields in the control panel frame directs
the scrolling of the document. I’ve selected an arbitrary, large GIF image to use in
the example. To see results of some horizontal scrolling values, you may need to
shrink the width of the browser window until a horizontal scrollbar appears in the
top frame. Figure 2-9 shows the results in a shrunken window with modest horizontal
and vertical scroll values entered into the bottom text boxes. If you substitute
scrollTo() for the scroll() methods in Listing 16-33, the results will be the
same, but you will need version browsers at a minimum to run it.
