Pausing up-down Scroller Stops Scrolling after click

[Webster]

1) Script Title: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex2/crosstick.htm

2) Script URL (on DD): Pausing up-down Scroller

3) Describe problem: When using the scroller users can see it changing and then mouse over it to pause it. If they then click, I open a new browser window to display the content in. BUT, when they close that window and return to the original browser the scroller is still paused because it never got a mouseout. So unless the user thinks to put their mouse over the scroller and then move it out again the scroller will not start working again.

This occurs when using the Safari/Webkit browser.

Is there a way to add the click event so that when clicked the scroller starts moving again?

Note: I had a similar question about another component here and got excellent assistance here, http://www.dynamicdrive.com/forums/showthread.php?t=55077 but this seems to be totally different so the same solution may not work.

Untested but this should work. Following the existing two lines, add the new line in red below:


document.getElementById(this.tickerid).onmouseover=function(){scrollerinstance.mouseoverBol=1}
document.getElementById(this.tickerid).onmouseout=function(){scrollerinstance.mouseoverBol=0}
document.getElementById(this.tickerid).onclick=function(){scrollerinstance.mouseoverBol=0}

Thanks! That seems to work fine.
