scrolling my div element

[=?Utf-8?B?cm9kY2hhcg==?=]

hey all,
i have a datalist inside my div element which is set to clip overflow
content. i have a left and right button that handles scrolling the div left
or right by just hovering over the buttons.

however, i've seen it where if i hover over the div on the left or right
side it will scroll. does anyone have any ideas on how i would implement
something like this?

thanks,
rodchar

the same way you do with the buttons. the div has the same event
handlers, you just need to look at the event x position to determine
which way to scroll.

You would implement this with client-side javascript. Search on "scrollable
div" and you'll find plenty of good sample code.
