Most current DHTML scrollers offer only up/down and/or start/stop controls for scrolling. Scroller Genie however offers the following scrolling mechanisms:

• by using back/forth arrows;
• by dragging the scrollbar 'thumb';
• by clicking somewhere in the scrollbar 'slider';
• by activating the scroll controls using the keyboard;
• by using the mouse wheel (IE on PC only);
• by moving the mouse over the scrolling area, where the scrolling speed is dependent on the mouse position ('smart scrolling');
• auto-scrolling, either continuous or with auto-reverse or with pauses.

• Hide scroll controls
  Added a behavior to optionally hide the scroll controls (scrollbar and VCR controls) when the scroller content is less than the scroller viewport, so when there's no need to scroll.
  
  
• Reload the previous content
  This is an accompanying new behavior for the 'Load URL into Scroller' behavior.
  It loads the previous content back into the scroller, simulating a history.go(-1) mechanism or usage of the Back button of the browser.
  (Note: version 5+ browsers only, and thus not compatible with older browsers like Netscape 4.x!)
  
  
• Scroll to named anchor within scroller
  Jump to the position of named anchors within the scroller. 
  (Note: version 5+ browsers only, and thus not compatible with older browsers like Netscape 4.x!)
  
  
• One or multiple content layers
  Possibility to specify multiple content layers, including choice to view:
  * content layers one-by-one (simulating separate 'pages')
  * content layers in sequence (simulating one big page).
  This last option is especially useful if you want a seamlessly auto-scrolling scroller, eg. with an image gallery.
  
  
• Real scrollbar, with draggable 'thumb'
  Give your scroller a real scrollbar with draggable 'thumb'. The position of the thumb will give your website visitors an indication of how much scroller content there is. So no more guessing about the length of content to scroll through!
   
• Auto-Scrolling and Smart Scrolling
  Either continuous or with auto-reverse auto-scrolling or with pauses.
  Smart Scrolling by moving the mouse over the scrolling area, where the scrolling speed is dependent on the mouse position

• Create Horizontal Scroller or Vertical Scroller
  There are predefined professionally designed scroller 'skins' available to choose from.
  These predefined designs come with the corresponding PNG or PSD files for editing in e.g. Fireworks or Photoshop, so you can change the colors to fit the color scheme of your website.
  
  
  
  Classy
  
  
  Cool Blue
  
  
  Glass - yellow
  
  
• Make your own scroller
  Scroller Genie makes it very easy to specify your own images for the scroll controls, because it calculates the position of all scroller elements based on the images you specify.
  
  
• Scroller Genie lets you 'anchor' the scroller
  Scroller Genie lets you 'anchor' the scroller to some other object on the page (a DIV, an image or a named anchor), so that it moves with that anchor object when the browser window is resized.
  This feature is very useful when you're working with a centered or fluid page layout.
  
  
  
  
  
• Load URL into Scroller behavior
  Scroller Genie comes with a 'Load URL into Scroller' behavior that lets you replace the scroller content with one click.
  This behavior works in most current browsers on PC and Mac (not in Opera 6, and only partly in Opera 7 and Netscape 4.x).
  
  
• Exceptional Compatibility
  Scroller Genie is tested on a PC to be compatible with all major browsers (IE5+, NS4.x, NS6.2+, Opera6+ and Opera7+).
  Scroller Genie is tested on a Mac to be compatible with IE5+, Netscape 4 (no content resize), Netscape 7 and Safari
