scrolling only with keyboard?

[gonzman]

I want to popup a fullscreen window without scrollbars, onload. BUT: the windows should be scrollable (up&down) with the keyboard (arrow up/down keys). is this possible with js?
I didn't even make it to disable the scrollbars (I tried it with 'scrollbars=no' , this did not work ) Can somebody here help me with this ??

Stick all the content in a DIV (which is sized at 100% width), trap the keypresses using JS, and move the DIV up and down accordingly by manipulating its position properties.

You might want to adapt the code used here:

Thx a lot, this should work! But how do I trap the keypresses? (Sorry I'm JS-Newbie) ...

hi!
i just found a lot easier solution, a little trick. i simply set the scrollbar colour to the same colour as the backround. so, it's of course there, but you don't see it. you can now scroll with the keyboard.

the script for colouring the scrollars is easier than the whole other stuff, you only paste this into the head:

<STYLE>BODY
{SCROLLBAR-FACE-COLOR: #FFFFFF;
SCROLLBAR-HIGHLIGHT-COLOR: #FFFFFF;
SCROLLBAR-SHADOW-COLOR: #FFFFFF;
SCROLLBAR-3DLIGHT-COLOR: #FFFFFF;
SCROLLBAR-ARROW-COLOR: #FFFFFF;
SCROLLBAR-TRACK-COLOR: #FFFFFF;
SCROLLBAR-DARKSHADOW-COLOR: #FFFFFF}
</STYLE>

THX anyway!!
