Okay, here's a weird one.
Someone was perusing one of my Web sites and said, to paraphrase:
"If I click in the vertical scroll bar below the handle (grippy) the
page scrolls down more than one full screen."
That is, the vast majority of pages (I've checked many) will scroll so
that the bottom of the first page is now at the top. The pages on my
site scroll up past that, so that the content of the initial screen is
above the top of the page. Meaning that the user will be missing, not
see, some content.
I cannot give a definitive example since it depends to some extent upon
browser window size. But, try it at, for instance:
http://edmullen.net/mozilla/moz_combine.php
I only give this page as an example because it requires several
scroll-downs to see the entire page.
I seem to be seeing something slightly different to other
people. Using Opera 12.x I see the same whether I use the Page
Down key or the mouse; I miss seeing some your page because it
is hidden by the fixed the image and menu bar. I don't know how
it's done but by telling the browser that the top of the scroll
bar should be just under the bottom of the menu bar will cure
that.
Using Firefox there is still text which is hidden by the image
and menu bar but the amount by which the page is moved is
different depending on whether I use the keyboard or mouse. I
see the amount by which a page is moved to be different on all
other pages I've looked at; using the mouse moves the page
slightly more than using the keyboard. That idiosyncrasy could
be considered a bug in Firefox.
Regarding my site a little more info would be helpful to me.
- What OS and version?
- Display size?
- Browser window size?
I've never seen this behavior on my site in any of the various browsers
I mentioned in my original post.
