Space works as page down for webpages in general. I must admit I'm a mousewheel guy though. I don't think I real linearly enough to only scroll in one direction.

I didn't know Safari was hiding the scroll bar now. I'll consider adding a More indicator like Quixe's... scrolling still happens like normal, it's just there to inform the user. Zarf, do you do that with JS or CSS magic?

I just pushed a fix for the quit bug.

The MORE thing is a CSS div which is hidden and revealed by the JS scrolling code.

Wait, that's my point! ;) (The desirability of forcing users to scroll up instead of down, that is.)

And it works great! Thanks. :)

Shift+space?

(But yeah, I scroll with two fingers on my trackpad, because I find using the spacebar to be too jumpy.)

Wow, I didn't know that existed at all! And following the same logic led me to the realization that shift+backspace exists too! :D (But coming from Firefox, I found out long ago that Command+Shift+T doesn't work to reopen a recently closed tab in Safari. :()

Dannii, I've uploaded http://www.club.cc.cmu.edu/~ajo/dissemi ... enshot.png in case you want to see what Safari's scrollbar looks like these days. It's the dark gray (alpha-blended) blob on the right side of the screen. It fades in when you start scrolling, and fades out after about half a second of inactivity.

Idea for a non-IF game: Someone should make an HTML5/CSS side-scroller where the object is to prevent your scrollbar indicator from colliding with obstacles traveling from left to right across the screen. This would naturally be highly browser-dependent and probably screen-size-dependent too, since you'd have to know the size and position of the scrollbar relative to the stuff on the screen.
