Cross Browser marquee - no lead-in please?

Cross Browser marquee

http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex2/cmarquee.htm

I want to get the marquee to begin with a "box/marquee" of text rather than an empty "box/marquee". I've tried playing with the code ... :/ (not having a clue, just guesswork and trial and error!!) And although I can get it to do what I want in FF3 (by deleting (marqueewidth) from the populate function) the ticker text then vanishes completely in IE7 !!!! :( B****y Mr Gates LoL

Is it possible??

Replace
function populate(){
if (iedom){
cross_marquee=document.getElementById? document.getElementById("iemarquee") : document.all.iemarquee
cross_marquee.style.left=parseInt(marqueewidth)+8+"px"
cross_marquee.innerHTML=marqueecontent
actualwidth=document.all? temp.offsetWidth : document.getElementById("temp").offsetWidth
}
else if (document.layers){
ns_marquee=document.ns_marquee.document.ns_marquee2
ns_marquee.left=parseInt(marqueewidth)+8
ns_marquee.document.write(marqueecontent)
ns_marquee.document.close()
actualwidth=ns_marquee.document.width
}
lefttime=setInterval("scrollmarquee()",20)
}
window.onload=populate with
function populate(){
if (iedom){
cross_marquee=document.getElementById? document.getElementById("iemarquee") : document.all.iemarquee
//cross_marquee.style.left=parseInt(marqueewidth)+8+"px"
cross_marquee.innerHTML=marqueecontent
actualwidth=document.all? temp.offsetWidth : document.getElementById("temp").offsetWidth
}
else if (document.layers){
ns_marquee=document.ns_marquee.document.ns_marquee2
//ns_marquee.left=parseInt(marqueewidth)+8
ns_marquee.document.write(marqueecontent)
ns_marquee.document.close()
actualwidth=ns_marquee.document.width
}
lefttime=setInterval("scrollmarquee()",20)
}
window.onload=populate.

Oops Arie ..... :( it works great but it only removes the trailing space at the beginning of the ticker.

When the ticker starts there is no blank space, but when it ends there is. I want to get a continuous loop of text without it either trailing away at the end or trailing on at the beginning.

Use this one:

http://home.comcast.net/~jscheuer1/side/marqueeh.htm

It is continuous, and has as a configuration option:


//Specify start with Full(1)or Empty(0) Marquee
var full=0


Set that to 1. For the full source code, use your browser's 'view source' to get the code.

Thanks! :) Works a treat

Hi jscheuer1,

This works great. The only thing is I have noticed that in IE, it takes about 8 seconds to start up. In Safari it starts up instantly.

Do you know why this is?

Thanks

Just to say that I don't experience that lag in IE7 - I have the delay set to 3 seconds and that's exactly the time taken for the next image to show.
