I know it sounds weird but I actually want scrollbars all around the screen. Left, right, top, bottom. Is that possible to do?

You want it for the whole screen? I think that depends on your graphic card. I was using NVDIA once and it happened to me. The screen scrolls, but there's no scrolling bar. The scrolling will be decided with your mouse movement. It was unintentionally, and i dont know how it was done.

By the way I'm using an iframe, it's only the iframe I want to scroll. Maybe I could add something in the iframe code?
Or in the page that's in the iframe... It doesn't matter, just I can get scrollers around the frame.

It is not possible, unles you were to make your own browser with scrollbars on all 4 sides, but it wont be too popular, it will just make web pages that are made to fir perfectly in a browser window, not fir anymore, a scrollbar is about 22px wide in Internet Explorer and 19 in FireFox, ples a left scrollbar will do the eeact same as a right had scollbar, so there is no point, thats why no browsers have 4 scollbars, plus in FireFox the scrollbars dont show if they are not needed, in Internet Explorer the left scrollbar just becomes unusable.

phew.

I dont know about the scrollbar being at the top, but having it on the left side is possible. You would use the attribute "direction".

CODE

<body dir="rtl">


This attribute will flip everything from the right to the left.

Another way:
CODE

<style>
.dir{direction: rtl}
</style>

That flps the whole page, and the scollbar only moves in Internet Explorer, It does not in Opera, FireFox, Mozilla or K-meleon, you know, the better ones.

A bit of a shame though. You'd expect that if your text was going from right to left, that the scrollbar would be at the "end" of a line all the same. So I definitely think IE's method is more intuitive.


Anyway, back to the real question. I have no doubt you could make a JavaScript scrollbar that sticks to the top and left for your pages. And if not JS, then always flash. However, you should ask yourself whether you really want to do that. In my experience there are little, if any, pages that manage to pull off non-standard scrollbars in a good way, without annoying all users.

Well, do not tell me that I don't need it since I already said it could sound weird, but it should be possible.

Thanks to the scrollbar on the left side, but I need one at the top too.

I am using it because I am running a fansite to a MMORPG. Normally, there is a Java map, but since it doesn't work on all computers (slow, no java and so on), I've made an image version too, that's in a frame (easier to scroll, fit the design). However, scrollbars all around would do it easier for users that don't have any scrolling button on the middle of their mouse.

But it would look too weird with a left scrollbar without a top one, so I am still waiting. It should be possible with Javascript, but I'm not into it at all...

Ahh wheres this reputation point I would give many of them to the user who gives me the top bar...

it is only possible to make three scrollbars, left;right;bottom; creating a top scrollbar is impossible. further more, a leftside scrollbar just isn't reliable, (IE only)

if you really needed this, I suggest you create an application in flash that would do that.
