Hi everyone,

The question is below :

<br>
<div style="position: absolute; width: 500px; height: 100px; overflow:
auto; border: 1px solid blue;">

I <b>can</b> include there some HTML code.<br>

<div style="color: green">
This is neat <b>BUT</b>:
</div>

My issue now is that I'd like to be able to scroll this content
without using the scrollbar i.e :<br>
by using the mousewheel (works only in IE)<br>
and by using the keyboard arrows like in a normal textarea zone.<br>
This is done in many webmail sites.<br>
But how can I do that ?<br>
Many thanks in advance for your answers !

</div>

Can't be done on an object like this
The page it appears on gets preference when it comes to scrolling.. best bet
is to use an iframe instead
The just target it by dropping the content/HTML into it...

You're right, thank you, it works with the mouse wheel if I use an
iframe but I'd also like to be able to have my cursor in it and use
the keyboard arrows like in the html areas that we use to have when
composing a mail on a webmail site.
