No, there is no scroll widget in Javascript/HTML, which is the whole
problem.

Javascript is *NOT* Java!  Two completely different things.  Java is a
compiled, object-oriented programming lanugage that's compiled into
special bytecode, which is then normally executed by a Java virtual
machine.  It can be used for "Java applets" in web pages but also for
completely separate applications.

Javascript is a scripting language that works with HTML and web pages,
and is interpreted and executed by web browsers.  The only thing they
share is four letters of their name.
