Up-Down Scroller displays 'undefined' after last item displayed

[rickheck]

1) Script Title: Pausing up-down scroller

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex2/crosstick.htm

3) Describe problem: When the script gets to the end of the array, it appears that it is not resetting back to the beginning of the array. I get a message "undefined" scrolling in the message area.

I'm just past being a beginner in Javascript, but I can't find where the array pointer is set back to the beginning if the last item in the array is being displayed. I am assuming that the array pointer being 'past' the end of the array is the cause of the display of 'undefined'.

Suggestions? I've already double-checked that the code is correct according to the code on your page.

Thanks....Rick..

Please post a link to the page on your site that contains the problematic script so we can check it out.

The test page is here

There is a lot of data displayed, so it takes a while to get to the point where the 'undefined' is displayed.

The pausecontent and pausecontent2 you've defined are Objects. The script is expecting Arrays. Add this highlighted bit to the script code as shown:


// -------------------------------------------------------------------
// initialize()- Initialize scroller method.
// -Get div objects, set initial positions, start up down animation
// -------------------------------------------------------------------

pausescroller.prototype.initialize=function(){
if(this.content.constructor === Object){
var p, xlat = [], c = this.content, cnt = -1;
for (p in c){
if(c.hasOwnProperty && c.hasOwnProperty(p) && !isNaN(p)){
xlat.push(c[p]);
} else if (!isNaN(p)){
xlat[++cnt] = c[p];
}
}
this.content = xlat;
}
this.tickerdiv=document.getElementById(this.tickerid)
this.visiblediv=document.getElementBy . . .

Or alternatively you could skip that and make pausecontent and pausecontent2 true arrays.
