Hi Folks - Please bear with me on this one as it would appear to not fit in any particular forum, thus I have posted here.
The o/s most likely would be Vista, then W2000.
The browser in descending order of use:-
Firefox, Chrome or IE8, 7 or 6.Am looking for an Webpage scroller that works the same as the down arrow or mouse wheel, at a variable speed, easily determined and/or changed at run time by the user.
It would be used when a musician is playing music displayed on the screen, where the music continues downwards out of view.
Some music websites have scrolling built in, at the correct speed for the music concerned. Others do not, requiring the musician to break off playing in order to page down, which you will appreciate is a pain.
Thanks - Mike
Any musician that is any good would have protege/underling to hit the page down button for him/her just like the person who turns the pages for the concert pianist. <g>

I remember years ago that their use to be sites with either e-
books or stories that had either a java or html scroller that had a
speed control. I'm sure that the code be embedded into the
desired page.

Hi, have you tried using JavaScript with custom variables for the timing?
Perhaps this might work:
function pageScroll() {
window.scrollBy(0,50); // horizontal and vertical scroll increments
scrolldelay = setTimeout('pageScroll()',100); // scrolls every 100 milliseconds
}To stop the page scrolling, use:
function stopScroll() {
clearTimeout(scrolldelay);
}

Hmm...if the "PC Advice needed" thread was deleted (allegedly) because the Lounge isn't supposed to be a technical forum, why is this thread still around?

Dear Derby - this is my posting, and I explained why I placed it in this forum.
Dear Wizard and Radix - thanks for your suggestions. I tried googling before posting, yet this seems to throw up many hits for (webpage) developers rather than the end user. Hence my operating specification in the original post.
I would think a facility, as I described, should be included in ones browser as many would find it useful. However currently it appears not to be, and an add-on is thus required.
Thanks - Mike

Mike,
I was not specifically questioning your placement of the question in The Lounge.
It was more a musing on the fact that other technical questions have been deleted, with some assuming (but we don't really know, thus my use of the word "allegedly") that the reason was that the Lounge is not supposed to be used for technical questions.
Again, not directed at your question, but more along the lines of "What is OK and what isn't?"
That said, I am curious as to why you don't think this question would have gotten more hits in either the Web Dev forum...
http://www.computing.net/forum/webd...
or a browser specific forum - as a start?
It seems to me that browser add-ons or Java scripts would be covered in those forums more extensively, but I’m just guessing since this is not my area of expertise.

Hi Derby - have taken your advice and placed a similar request on the Webpage Development forum as you suggested.
Hope any responder appreciates it is for a user and should be reasonably simple to operate.
Thanks - Mike

Mike:
Does this look like something you could use?:

It's not free but it has a free trial so you can assess it.

Hi Btk1w1 - many thanks for the recommendation and link.
The Mousestar application is perfect for the task and easy to use and adjust while in flight.
Regards - Mike
