Scrolling page with drag - simple solution required

Hi,
We are looking at developing some applications for a touch-screen mobile device. One of the problems we face is scrolling - the scrollbars render quite small and it gets a little tricky. What I would like to do is implement a scrolling function where the user can scroll using the touchscreen, in the same way as you can with your mobile phone/tablet. I'm not looking at any of the fancy stuff that comes with those such as elasticity and bounce, just somethingvery basic and robust.
I have seen an example of a page which overwrote the document.onmousedown/move/up functions to do this but it was a little fiddly in that it sometimes interfered with pressing links on the page, focusing items etc.
Does anyone have any suggestions/ideas? Needs to be as lightweight as possible with it being on a mobile device and ideally in pure javascript rather than jquery (again, just for better mobile support).

I am curious as to why the page would not scroll on a touch screen mobile device the same way it does for any other site? Can you clarify what problems you are running into? You shouldn't need the scroll bars in order to swipe-scroll. Not trying to be obtuse but I read the question a couple of times and perhaps I am missing something. Or is this problem happening in a specific mobile browser or on a specific device type? Or are you trying to scroll within a region as opposed to just the full browser page - like a text area or a scrollable div you've created in an HTML region? Then I can see why the scrollbar size could be a factor.

  • Hp wireless laser mini mouse will not scroll pages with the wheel

    Hello, I switched to firefox as my main browser, much better than IE9 in vista 32 bit. I am using a Hp Pavilion entertainment PC laptop with a HP wireless mini mouse and the scroll wheel will not move the web pages up or down, works okay in IE9. I can use the keyboard to scroll and cursor click arrows okay, I really like the mouse wheel better. Thanks for your help.

    hello Thegman50, have you already tried installing the latest drvier version that is available for this mouse model from: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=no-75205-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=2093&product=3209078&sw_lang= ?

  • Syncing a scrolling page with audio

    If I've recorded a movie of a page scrolling down, and in my
    audio I want to talk about things they'll see as they scroll down
    the page is there a way to sync those two up? Slow down the movie
    or maybe pause it while I talk about something then start it
    again?

  • Firefox 20.0.1 with Shockwave 11.7.700.169 crashes when you access web pages with video content

    I have a problem with Firefox 20.0.1 under Windows 7 with Shockwave flash 11.7.700.169. When I access a web site / web page with some content that requires Shockwave (usually videos) I can view the video, however, when I exit Firefox, it will crash with "Firefox encountered a problem - check for a solution ...". I also have a web site "MyHeritage" that when I access a family tree I repeatedly get a message "Video driver stopped working - NVIDIA driver ... has successfully recovered". If I disable Shockwave, Firefox will not crash in both cases, unfortunately, I cannot watch any video content.
    I did go to the Adobe web site and updated what I thought was my version of Shockwave, unfortunately this installed Director for netscape V12.2, I have disabled this plug-in.
    BTW - running Firefox in safe mode (add-ons disabled) stopped my NVIDIA driver from crashing and also stopped Firefox from crashing when exiting.

    Please check if all your plugins are up-to-date using [http://mozilla.com/plugincheck Mozilla Plugin Check site].
    Once you're there, the site will check if all your plugins have the latest versions.
    If you see plugins in the list that have a yellow ''Update'' button or a red ''Update now'' button, please update these immediately.
    To do so, please click each red or yellow button. Then you should see a site that allows you to download the latest version. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation and follow the steps mentioned in the installation procedure.

  • Smooth scrolling page - slideshows not working. Please help!

    Hi, I've created a smooth scrolling page with 3 slideshows positioned as you moove down the page. They appear to be working when previewed but not once uploaded. Does anyone know why?
    Thanks

    Hi Bob, hi Ross,
    I've monitored the same problem. When a slide/MSO in a smooth scrolling article goes over the fold, it'll not play automaticly neither manual by tap.
    It has nothing to do with selected running single or multiple times. Seems like the same problem with MSO's go in document bleed.
    Seen on DPS v28 on iOS, but also on earlier versions.
    Kind regards,
    Tobias

  • Simple mail solution required

    Dear friends,
    in my project https://cejug-classifieds.dev.java.net, I have the need to develop a mail authentication to the bid publishing. The behaviour is bellow:
    1 - the user submit a form containing the bid details and an e-mail address.
    2- the system store the bid data in the database
    3 - the system send an e-mail to the user requiring an authentication
    4 - the user replyies the e-mail and the bid becomes active.it is quite simple behvaiour but the MAIL part of the solution seems a tricky one. I know I can use a mail server but I have some open issues:
    1 - how to comunicate with the mail server in order to control the bids status?
    2 - Is there any simpler solution, using servlets or other Java stuff to dispose the need of a mail server ?
    any tip will be valuable contribution.
    best regards,

    Hello!
    In Oracle 8i documentation I found these books:
    Language and Interface:
    * Oracle Call Interface Programmers Guide
    * Pro*C/C++ Precompiler Programmers Guide
    Someone over there should have a Oracle License and
    therefore Documentation CD-ROMs... ;-)

  • Seriously, Stop the DUPLICATE Madness! Is there a fix for my duplicate songs on my iPad? Like really, I don't have time to drag and delete my songs. Does Apple really have a simple solution to this bug?

    Seriously, Stop the DUPLICATE Madness! Is there a fix for my duplicate songs on my iPad? Like really, I don't have time to drag and delete my songs. Does Apple really have a simple solution for this bug? It's been 5-months, I currently do not have quick access to a sync, I thought iMatch for Christmas would solve the problem but it appears that doesn't solve anything either....help please! If I listen to my kid's lula-bye song in duplicate for another night I'm going to seriously loose it on Little Boy Peep. Like really Apple do I need to call IN and pay for this problem?

    The possible problem appears to me that songs that were previously loaded onto the iPad device from Mac were duplicated when I started to sync with iCloud. An album will contain one song from the iPad that was originally loaded on sync with Mac and another that will appear either with a little iCloud icon next to the song greyed out or a DUPLICATE song.
    I had hoped iMatch would solve the issue magically, but that does not appear to be the case.

  • No scrolling when viewing man pages with Gnome terminal?

    Hi all,
    I have just installed Oracle Solaris 11 on x86. For a long time I've used Solaris 9 on SPARC. I like the new OS, but I'm having a problem viewing man pages with Gnome terminal. When I view a long man page, e.g., "man newfs", I don't get a functional scroll bar on the right hand side of the window. And although the space bar works to advance the page, when I reach the end, it doesn't return to the command prompt. It just beeps, prints "END", and I can only exit by closing the window. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Suggestions would be much appreciated.
    Many thanks,
    Chris Tidy

    It does sound like you're using "less" instead of more. When you see the "(END)" prompt you can simply type "q" and it will exit back to the command line prompt making it unnecessary to close the window. See the "less" manual page for more detail on the less command. Under Solaris 9 the paging was done with the "more" command. If you set the PAGER environment variiable to "more" the man page will use more and revert to the behavior you'd be used to with Solaris 9. Less erases the text you've already read when you type that final "q" which is a behavior I don't like. I didn't bother to determine if there is a way to fix that with less, I just went back to more. The choice between "more" and "less" is a personal preference.

  • When I open pages it scrolls through various numbers of blank pages with a line at the side, then stops at a document, but usually an old document. I have to  go to "open recent" to get on the page I want.

    Hi
    When I open Pages it scrolls through numerouss blank pages with a line at the side 1st, then settles on an old saved pages document.I then have to go to "open recent" to select the one I want. Why?

    No
    It's the 1st version of Pages I've had on my computer.
    Can't delete them as they scroll through them at a rapid pace. The longer I've had the problem the more blank pages it scrolls through.

  • How to create a button which scrolls down with the page automatically?

    Hello,
    I wanted to create a button which takes u back to the top of the page when pressed on, but I was wondering how to make it scroll down with the page on the right side automatically when some1 scrolls down the page.
    An example I saw was on tumblr.com

    Thanks.

    Create a button, position it as fixed at the top right say,
    a button{
              position:fixed;
              top:50px;
              right:50px; 
    <a href="#home"><button> Button</button></a>
    The <a> is the link to take you to the top of the page
    Just be sure to set the id home on an element at the top of the page

    Sounds like you "upgraded" to Pages 5.
    Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5.

    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Archive/trash Pages 5, after Exporting your files to Pages '09, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • Often, with 4 or 5 windows open, maybe 20 tabs total, firefox stutters when vertical scrolling pages.

    Often, with 4 or 5 windows open, maybe 20 tabs total, firefox stutters when vertical scrolling pages. A restart fixes it.
    I can often work all day with many more tabs than 20 open with no issues. So I'm pretty sure the issue is not a lack of system resources.
    This last time I've noticed it, it is after waking my Macbook Air from sleep.

    Hello,
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
    Thank you.

    Hello cor-el, I apologize for not letting you know if your suggestions about my question worked or not. I came down with pneumonia and then caught the flu on top of that. Today I tried what you had suggested about disabling the hardware acceleration and it didn't make any difference. You had also gave me a link to he article about plug-ins and when I clicked on the list of the current plug-ins I have the following is what came up:
    Fox-it Reader Plug-In for Mozilla, 2.2.3.703
    Microsoft DRM 9.0.0.3250
    (drm netscape network object)
    Microsoft DRM 9.0.0.3250
    (drm store netscape plug in)
    Shockwave Flash 12.0.0.43
    Windows Media Player Plug In Dynamic Link Library 3.0.2.628
    (np dsplay d11)
    Windows Presentation Foundation 3.5.30729.1
    When I then clicked to see if there were updates available, the only one that it said was updated was the Shockwave Flash. The Windows Media Plug In Dynamic Link Library, said the status was vulnerable and the other three said the status was unknown. Does any of this make sense to you and are there things that should be on the plug in list that aren't? I apologize for the length of my post but I wanted to give you as much information as possible. Thanks for your help
