Scroll Bars
The Horizontal and Vertical Scrollers enables scrolling boxes that visually complement your page design.
This method of navigation gives users the traditional scrolling controls such as arrows, drag bars, and even their mouse wheels. People with motor disabilities can use their tab keys to reach the scrolling controls and then, once a scrolling control has focus, the keyboard controls are activated enabling use of the four arrow keys—plus the spacebar, Home, End, Page Up, and Page Down keys.
The option to "Show All" on your page enables users to turn off the scrolling controls and expand all content to view all content.
