Javascript scroll working!! but......

[bamben]

Hi all! I am new to javascript (I seam to be getting it right so far). I modifyed a java script that scrolled up and down on a page into a really cool script that builds a box around your website (unobtrusive). Now the script lets a user scroll in all directions including diaganol (all on mouse over) and double click makes it jump faster if you are in a hurry lol....

problem: I have been working really hard at making a button that toggles this script on and off (when off the scroll should be totally locked). I cant get my head around it though because my fuction playscroll() is called in the script at the very bottom (so this is like onload playscroll), to make a button that stops this is .... well I dont understand how I would do it because I would have to maybe first take this playscroll() code out and put it in my button like playscroll=true/playscroll=false ( but I like it set to scroll when loaded as it is now ) also the on mouse overs are making it difficult for me to get my head around ie: how the hell do I stop them lol!

Basicly: I love my script as it is now, only I really need to make a button that locks/un-locks the scroll

[bamben]

does any one have an idear how to do this button?

Ive experimented with ading a var YES = "true" but I dont think I am doing it right!?

Ive also tryed adding if yes true to playscroll but that dont work eather

??

[ddadmin]

This doesn't look like a DD script. I'm moving it over to the general JavaScript forum. Also, a link to the script in question may help those helping out.

[bamben]

This script has ON/OFF buttons exactly how I need them but I cant seem to copy what happens exactly..... Does any one know how?????

===========================================================
Script: TriState Rainbow Scrollbar Script I
Function: Causes all page scrollbars to blink in three
colors; on/off control (optional) can turn effect
on and off via links
Browsers: IE 5.5 (degrades gracefully on other browsers)
Author: etLux
===========================================================

Step 1.
Put the following script in the head of your page:

<script>

// (C) 2000 by CodeLifter.com
// http://www.codelifter.com
// Free for all users, but leave in this header

// blink speed in miliseconds
var rate = 333;

// true to start automatically, else false
var DoIt = true

// the three blink colors
var Color1 = "#FF0000"
var Color2 = "#00FF00"
var Color3 = "#0000FF"

// the color if/when turned off
var ColorX = "#C0C0C0"

var i = 0;
function doTriStateRainbow(){
if (document.all){
if (DoIt){
i++;
if (i==1) C = Color1
if (i==2) C = Color2
if (i==3) C = Color3
document.body.style.scrollbarBaseColor = C
if (i>2) i=0;
timer=setTimeout('doTriStateRainbow()', rate)
}else{
document.body.style.scrollbarBaseColor = ColorX
}
}
}

</script>

===========================================================

Step 2.
Put this onload event call in your body tag:

<body onload="doTriStateRainbow()">

===========================================================

Step 3. (Optional)
To add on and off controls, use the following:

<a href="#" onClick="DoIt=false">Off</a>
<a href="#" onClick="DoIt=true;doTriStateRainbow()">On</a>

===========================================================

I cant post a link to the script as my website is not finished

// Basic Element Animator (14-May-2009)
// by Vic Phillips http://www.vicsjavascripts.org.uk

// To progressively change the Left, Top, Width, Height or Opacity of an element over a specified period of time.
// With the ability to scale the effect time on specified minimum/maximum values
// and with three types of progression 'sin' and 'cos' and liner and an optional 'Bounce'.

// **** Application Notes

// **** The HTML Code
//
// when moving an element the inline or class rule style position of the element should be assigned as
// 'position:relative;' or 'position:absolute;'.
//
// The element would normally be assigned a unique ID name.
//

// **** Executing the Effect(Script)
//
// The effect is executed by an event call to function 'zxcBAnimator('width#',document.getElementById('tst'),10,800,5000,[10,800],'sin');'
// where:
//  parameter 0 = the mode(see Note 2).                                                                     (string)
//  parameter 1 = the unique ID name or element object.                                                     (string or element object)
//  parameter 2 = the start position of the effect.                                                         (digits, for opacity minimum 0, maximum 100)
//  parameter 3 = the finish position of the effect.                                                        (digits, for opacity minimum 0, maximum 100)
//  parameter 4 = (optional) period of time between the start and finish of the effect in milliseconds.     (digits or defaults to 2000 milliSeconds)
//  parameter 5 = (optional) to scale the effect time on a specified minimum/maximum.                        (array, see Note 5)
//                 field 0 the minimum. (digits)
//                 field 1 the maximum. (digits)
//  parameter 6 = (optional) the type of progression, 'sin', 'cos' or 'liner'.                              (string, default = 'liner')
//                 'sin' progression starts fast and ends slow.
//                 'cos' progression starts slow and ends fast.
//
//  Note 1:  The default units(excepting opacity) are 'px'.
//  Note 2:  Examples modes: 'left', 'top', 'width', 'height', 'opacity.
//           For hyphenated modes, the first character after the hyphen must be upper case, all others lower case.
//  Note 3:  To 'toggle' the effect include '#' in parameter 0.
//           The first call will set the toggle parameters.
//           Subsequent calls with '#' in parameter 0 and the same start and finish parameters will 'toggle' the effect.
//  Note 4:  The function may be re-executed with a different set of parameters (start/finish time or period)
//           whenever required, say from an onclick/mouseover/out event.
//           The period parameter will be retained unless re-specified.
//  Note 5: parameter 5 is of particular use when re-calling the effect
//          in mid travel to retain an constant rate of progression.
//  Note 6: parameters 2 and 3 must be different values to execute the script.
//
