It would seem to me that this approach assumes the user is wrong to press "down", and needs re-education. Mark is making the case that we're fighting expectations set by pretty much the rest of the web, and that we may need to make more of a change than providing a more prominent hint. My personal experience concurs with this. The Snow Fall example[1] (and many others like it) show how fixed-image-position scrolling like we do is compatible with the traditional expectation of up-arrow/down-arrow behavior. Of course, I'm going to allow for the possibility that I'm cranky and old school, and that I just need to learn to hit the correct arrow key. :-) Rob [1] http://www.nytimes.com/projects/2012/snow-fall/ _______________________________________________ Multimedia mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/multimedia
