A test by alfahosting.de: it does not work and a other server, by greatnet.de, the script works fine in IE7.

Perhaps a other Serverconfiguration, but what?

Well, I had posted, and then deleted this because, after testing, it seemed to make no difference:


You have only one hex character (hex 0A), a line feed, at the end of your lines in the tickercontent.txt. The demo uses the Windows standard CRLF (carriage return and line feed) pair of hex 0D0A. This may or may not have anything to do with it.

If it is server dependent though, this might actually be the trouble.

Thanks for the answer!

I understand it bad, or how can i change the tickercontent.txt, that it works?

Now i tested a other Script without problems:

DHTML Ticker script: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex2/generaltick.htm

I'm assuming you have a Unix based computer. But you may even be using Windows or a Mac. The point is that there are various ways that an editor can signal an end of line. The most common on a Windows system is the 0d0a (hex) carriage return/line feed pair. On 'nix systems it is more common to use just the 0a line feed character. On Mac, the default is just the 0d or carriage return character. Usually your editor can be set to do it one way or the other regardless of your system, but if you want it to be different than the usual way, you must specify. If you were to look at the hex code of the file, you would see something like so:


0D 0A

or just:


0A

at the end of each line, depending upon how the lines are terminated in that file.

Now, sometimes, you might save a file one way, but during the process of uploading it to the server, it might get changed. None of this usually matters, because once the file is served back to the local computer, all of that is worked out to the benefit of the local system, but with something like XML (as is used with the first ticker script we were talking about here), it might make a difference.

My computer is windows based. Exactly windows vista x86. The html-editor, up and download, i use dreamweaver cs3. The webside is utf-8 coded and the tickercontent.txt is saved as utf-8, not ANSI. But if i saved the website in iso-code and the tickercontent.txt in ANSI, it works not of the hostingserver form "alfahosting.de". Of the hostingserver of "greatnet.de" it works both.

Unfortunate my English is bad otherwise I better would understand.
