Let’s say you are designing a web application for internal business use.
Should a page be designed to not scroll, and either use paging or have scrollable sub-sections (tables, grids, etc) or is it better to allow the page to simple scroll.

What happens when you have a long page that requires a Save/Cancel button or other such buttons. Then you need to scroll all the way to the bottom to find said buttons. Or just repeat the buttons on the top and bottom?

Sorry this post is not worded well. It was hastily written. Hopefully you get the gist of it.

Thanks.

    Designing an application so there is no need to scroll is always good – especiallay in web applications people will miss elements outside their “view-range”.

    Scrolling can be very annoying and might be an indicator for too much content on a website.

    You could try to use expandable areas for different categories or something like a tab-catalogue. Even a wizard is a possibility.

    Another possibility would be locking the buttons on the bottom of the browser (not of the page itself). So there would be a scrollable area with the actual content and belwo the buttons.
