Scroll down indicator css javascript and html
I have seen these a couple of times, indictating to the user that there is further content down the page, and they should scroll to view it.
Then as you scroll down the indicator dissapears.
So we will need to have some scroll position checking.
Then a fixed element that indicates you can scroll (just incase the scroll bars are not enough of an indication i spose).
Animated Scroll Icon
These ones on codepen seem quite nice
you could almost just use the screen recorded gif of this one if you didnt want all the additional css...
but i guess that is a bit lazy... ;)
Lets add the icon
then add the jquery that monitors the scroll position so then when the page is scrolled the icon can be hidden.
i found that position fixed worked better than absolute, but depends on the wrapping container.
Also to make sure the container does not get in the way of anything use the pointer events none.
here it is in action (yes i know the image is not cropped properly or transparent! :) )
HTML
<div class="scroll-down"></div>CSS

z-index: 200; /* make sure its always on top... */
pointer-events: none;
}
.hide {
display:none;
}Javascript
$(window).scroll(function() {
if ($(document).scrollTop() > 50) {
$('.scroll-down').addClass('hide');
} else {
$('.scroll-down').removeClass('hide');
}

"Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it. Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything. 'Are you feeling all right?' I asked her. 'I feel all sleepy,' she said. In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead. The measles had turned into a terrible thing called measles encephalitis and there was nothing the doctors could do to save her. That was...in 1962, but even now, if a child with measles happens to develop the same deadly reaction from measles as Olivia did, there would still be nothing the doctors could do to help her. On the other hand, there is today something that parents can do to make sure that this sort of tragedy does not happen to a child of theirs. They can insist that their child is immunised against measles. ...I dedicated two of my books to Olivia, the first was ‘James and the Giant Peach’. That was when she was still alive. The second was ‘The BFG’, dedicated to her memory after she had died from measles. You will see her name at the beginning of each of these books. And I know how happy she would be if only she could know that her death had helped to save a good deal of illness and death among other children."
I just checked google books for BFG, and the dedication is there.
