Name

scrollBy( ) — NN 4 IE 4 DOM n/a

Synopsis

scrollBy(deltaX, deltaY)

Scrolls the document in the window by specified pixel amounts along both axes. To adjust along only one axis, set the other value to zero. Positive values for deltaX scroll the document upward (so the user sees content lower in the document); negative values scroll the document downward. Positive values for deltaY scroll the document to the left (so the user sees content to the right in the document); negative values scroll the document to the right. Scrolling does not continue past the zero coordinate points (except in Navigator 4 for the Macintosh).

Returned Value

None.

Parameters

deltaX

Positive or negative pixel count of the change in horizontal scroll position.

deltaY

Positive or negative pixel count of the change in vertical scroll position.
