If you press [space] on the keyboard you scroll down. And shift+[space] scrolls up.

I mean, dudes.

scroll down, scroll up

scroll down, scroll up

You can also use the Page Up and Page Down keys to scroll. You can use the Home and End keys to go to the beginning and end of a line and CTRL+Home/End to go to the top and bottom of a page.

That's what I always used. The space bar is nice, though!

Dood!

I knew about spacebar to scroll down, but I didn't know about shift+spacebar to scroll up. Cool.

I used to work in QuarkXpress on a Mac. There was/is a special combo of keys to delete a text box which will have a little robot/alien walk onto the screen and shoot the text box with a ray to destroy it. I got such a kick out of that. But I don't remember the key combo now, and I don't work with QXP, and I don't use a Mac.

My life has become so much less exciting. (I prefer PCs, though.)

LOL weird - never really gave it much thought, since there are other ways of scrolling up and down.

Wow. You learn something new every day.

Actually, it doesn't . . . but it depends on which object is highlighted. Space generally activates a behavior (the default behavior) of an object. In this case, I suppose that most general items do not have a Space/Shift-Space function and it drops down the scroll bar. However, for example, highlight the word STORYHOURS in megamania's .sig, then press TAB to highlight the Show button (spoiler block). Now when you hit Space, it shows the spoiler rather than paging down. Shift-Space does the same thing. Strangely, links seem to require the RETURN key.

So, basically don't get into the habit of using Space because it won't always work and may in fact activate a button in the web page you are on.
