4. Scrollbars v2

Scrollbar Paper does not replace browser’s default scrollbar.
Instead, it covers it with a custom scrollbar, like paper on a wall: that is why it is called Scrollbar Paper 🙂
The benefit of this approach is that the way browser’s default scrollbar behaves is not modified: mouse wheel support, text selection and scrolling performance are the same as usual.

Besides, Scrollbar Paper’s HTML does not wrap itself around its content, and thus, does not eventually break it: for instance, when jScrollPane might reset/break Flash/SWF movies, Scrollbar Paper will not.

Finally, Scrollbar Paper is refreshed regularly, thus keeping adapted to its content.

6. ShortScroll – A jQuery UI Google Wave style scroll bar

I have never been a fan of custom scroll bars. Most of the time they are just eye candy and end up getting in the way. That was until I saw the scroll bar in Google Wave. I thought it was the best UI feature in the whole app. It added functionality and style making much better than the browser default scroll bar. So I thought that I would create a scroll bar like it as a jQuery UI widget.

8. Vertical scrollbar using jQuery UI slider

Wasted another morning messing about with the jQuery UI slider, trying to get it to work vertically rather than horizontally. Seems like quite a few others have been looking for the same thing, so here’s my attempt. I began by adapting the code on the jQuery UI site for a horizontal slider. This worked, but seemed unnecessarily complex, so I had another go, starting from the vertical slider code. The result is a lot cleaner.
