: the idea is to scroll the main frame when the mouseOver event occurs on the direction arrows.
: My idea was to place a loop between the mouseOver and mouseOut events that calls the scroll function of the main frame,
: but I can't seem to stop the the loop once I start it. Is it possible to have a loop in JS?
Your best bet is probably to start the scroll loop using something like this when you have a onMouseOver event:
id= setTimeout (scroll_function, delay);
and you'll need the same line _within_ the scroll function as well.
Upon detecting the onMouseOut event, use clearTimeout (id); to stop the scrolling.
