Anyone got a peice of HTML that would make the
page move up and down

I do not want to change the screen resolution to make the page fit
as I like teh format and size of the page as is, and currently the scroll
bar on the right is the only was users can move the page down to see the
rest

the page is longer than one std page -
ie: the search results on eBay - where you have to scroll down.

If I could get my HTML page to move up and down on its own
in a slow conrolled manner, this would be great
TIA

What about your visitors? Are you sure they want to view your page that
way? Some pointing devices allow you to click on a middle button and
the page scrolls FOR you, Logitech trackballs do this.

this is a display panel in the office - showing warning indicators for a
list of clients
if they are red we need to act - better they scroll up and down rather than
relying on someone checking
now and again

Why not sort by priority?

OK, its a list of 200 clients servers, exchange, etc etc all being monitored
therefore - no priority as all clients are monitored and maintained by us
I just want a scrolling HTML script, can't beleive it don't exist???

So these are links, rather than a server side generated list.

This is off the top of my head, so you will need to fill in the blanks

Javascript has a timer function. Use it to call a function every two seconds or so.

The function has Javascript which counts from 1 to 200, then from 200 to 1, then back up again.

Use the value to set the current document location:
newLocation = "#loc" + counter;
self.location = newLocation;

Then call the timer again.

At each link place:
<a name="loc1"></a>
link....
<a name="loc2"></a>
link....
<a name="loc3"></a>
link....

And so on.

This will cause the document to scroll up and down, though by line rather than a smooth scroll.
