ABSTRACT

In general, scroll bar designs are weak and do not offer adequate cognitive aids to help the user trying to form a mental model of the material. Several suggestions of better designs have been presented, and we have developed some of them further. In this paper, we present two components, an improved scroll bar with bookmarks and a calendar scroll bar, which we have implemented as reusable Java Beans.
