    I still don't know what you mean by ctrl+up/down. As ctrl+up/down is not
    action, it is shortcut key to an action. It is quite big change, that if
    it is browser function, it is in Opera, and I was able to use it just
    fine. And, why make ? button, when you can make "help" link?

    Or maybe you did something wrong. Like used non-standard JS? I don't know
    about JS, but that is most common error, I think.

    Why do you think it does not belong to this thread? If there is good
    reason to expicitly ask scrollbar, it would be very useful to know the
    reason - after all, we might not be able to figure it out ourselves, and
    make mistake about not doing as you do. But if you don't say why, I
    assume you don't have any reason. BTW, you can change subject line if you
    think it does not describe thread well enaugh.

    So, your comment was irrelevant to my point. If you had not quoted that
    part of my text, I wouldn't have thought it was related to my point. And
    since I noticed that I had failed to mention use of label element before,
    I stated my idea again.

    Free hint: making comments of other peoples boxed views is not good idea,
    when you seem to be thinking at least as much inside your own box. And,
    especially, as you as author of page, should consider other peoples views
    useful, even if they wouldn't see outside their box - after all, they
    most likely know their box better than you do.

    Think about that comment of yours about not having text for that book
    icon. That was pretty much thinking just your box, ie comparing your tool
    to another similar tools, but not to web, where your product obviously is
    supposed to work.
    I had never seen such icon before. It was far from ovvious. As vere those
    left and right arrows, I thought I could use them to move to next and
    previus section of spec, but thay just dublicate my browser build in back
    and forward functions¹. Of course, you purposefully tried to hide them,
    whitout any reason, I assume.

    [1] If you can find browser that dont have back and forward function,
    tell us, so we can laugh at it together.

      Yes you are absolutely right. Coming out of the box is difficult :-)
