I want to autoscroll a particular element either onmouseover or using an image map.

  • 0

I want to autoscroll a particular element either onmouseover or using an image map. I also want to hide the scrollbars for that div. The problem is…

I don’t understand how to do this. I’ve been learning javascript for weeks now and I’ve only learned the useless parts. Nothing actually applicable to web design, that is. I did google it and nothing gave me the exact answer I was looking for, nor was I able to tweak those examples to work for me.

The code is on jsfiddle.net unless I’m breaking an unwritten rule, and please just let me know, I will just post the link. Please please please! don’t just give me an answer, as I am a beginner. Please explain your solution. Thank you so much!

Decided to add the code, because I’ve gotten immediate responses before when doing that.

    How do hide scrollbars:

    Set the css property overflow to hidden on the div:

    <div style="overflow:hidden"></div>

    How to scroll the div:

    The element has a scrollTop property, which is the amount of pixels the element has been scrolled. You can scroll the element by assigning to this property:

    var div = document.getElementById(someId);
div.scrollTop = 50;

    How to do something on mouseover:

    var div = document.getElementById(someId);
div.onmouseover = function() {
    // do something here
};
