Please is there anyscript that I can embed into the page/frame that can activate the mouse wheel.. Please help...

I have tried that.. If I set "scrolling" to "yes" then the mouse wheel works but I have scroll bars at the sides aswell. I don't want scroll bars.... I use DHTML buttons to scroll the window.. but need mousewheel scroll aswell...

can you post a link so we can see the example? i don't think you can have it both ways but it is worth a try

if you don't use scroll bars then you won't be able to get the scrollwheel to work. there is no code for it as the webpage has no control over the mouse and it buttons it uses. the software is in the windows environment that controls the scroll wheel.

Er... not 100% correct there, Scoutt ol' buddy.
IE6 has an onmousewheel event handler, which exposes the wheelDelta property of the event object.

well I'll be a monkies uncle... no offense Chris :D

should have known that MS would think something up like that. also suppose it is IE specific.... doesn't solve it for everybody as most people don't have IE6 yet

thanks Jon, for that one.

ps: have you read your pm's lately??? ;)
