iFrame Suite Scroller

The iFrame Scroller extension allows you to scroll iFrames (or document Frames ) from active text or image buttons just as with DHTML layer based scrollers. Completely editable and adjustable speeds.

You may apply the Scroller behavior to active text links, images and image Maps.

Note: Use only relative URLs for the iFrame when using the scroller. This is achieved by browsing to the page to be loaded in the iFrame within the iFrame Manager. Do not use absolute URLs ( http://www.yoursite.com/pageiniframe.htm )
