If your page scrolls, you should have a scroll bar.
- pedalpete 13y agoScroll bars can look ugly, but at the least they should have a graphical representation that the page is scrollable. I also completely missed the rest of the website.
- serf 13y agoI legitimately missed the rest of the page and dismissed it as totally broken until I read this comment. Hopefully that emphasizes how right lifeformed is.
- branksy 13y agoDoes it scroll? It doesn't do anything for me (Opera), so I guess everything's broken.
- oneeyedpigeon 13y agoIntroducing a javascript requirement to scroll the page?! That's just plain rude.
- jjcm 13y ago"If your page scrolls, you should have some indication that your page scrolls." That's my approach. I don't think scrollbars are entirely necessary (and in a slide-to-slide webpage like this, having a scrollbar wouldn't really work since it'd break the UI), but having some indicator that you can scroll is necessary. It doesn't necessarily have to be a scrollbar though. Having content peeking out from beneath the fold is often enough to let the user know, "Hey! There's stuff down here! Scroll and check it out!"
