Middle Click on Sitepoint Article

[ohnnyj]

Hello all:

Forgive me if this is common knowledge but I found it to be quite interesting and cool all at the same time. If you click the middle mouse button on a Sitepoint article to scroll the document the up/down arrow thing is a custom Sitepoint one, not the normal up/down.

You have to be using Firefox, docquesting.

It's been like that for quite a long time actually. There was a thread and a SP blog on how to do it a few months ago. Search for it.

Using Netscape auctully since Mozilla crashed on me. Figured somebody might be smart enough to figure out I wasnt using I/E without saying so.

The custom autoscroll icon is possible due to a bug (or design flaw) in Firefox:

(don't comment on the bug unless you have information to give)

The idea came from Ian (Hixie) Hickson.
