IFRAME scroller IE: use inside table

[FatCactus]

I'm a complete novice ... so apologies if this is a dumb question.

I've been trying out the IFRAME scroller IE

http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...e-scroller.htm

and it works fine ... except when I try to insert the script into the cell of a table. When I view the page I just see the actual script commands and no scrolling text. I'd be very grateful if someone would tell me where I'm going wrong.

Thanks ...

It shouldn't matter whether the script is inside a table cell or not. Do you have a URL to the problem?

and

Doesn't work - inside table

Thanks for any help ...

I viewed the source of the tabled site, this is what it says:

<table width="75%" border="1">
  <tr>
    <td>&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;
      <p>/***********************************************<br>

        * IFRAME Scroller script- &copy; Dynamic Drive DHTML code library (www.dynamicdrive.com)<br>
        * This notice MUST stay intact for legal use<br>
        * Visit Dynamic Drive at http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ for full source 
        code<br>
        ***********************************************/</p>
      <p>//specify path to your external page:<br>

        var iframesrc=&quot;external.htm&quot;</p>
      <p>//You may change most attributes of iframe tag below, such as width and 
        height:<br>
        document.write('&lt;iframe id=&quot;datamain&quot; src=&quot;'+iframesrc+'&quot; 
        width=&quot;150px&quot; height=&quot;150px&quot; marginwidth=&quot;0&quot; 
        marginheight=&quot;0&quot; hspace=&quot;0&quot; vspace=&quot;0&quot; frameborder=&quot;1&quot; 
        scrolling=&quot;no&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;')</p>

      <p>&lt;/script&gt;</p>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>

As you can see, you've accidentally pasted the code as text into your HTML composing program, and it has treated it as such. It's a simple mistake to make. You need to make your HTML code this:

<table width="75%" border="1">
  <tr>
    <td>
<script type="text/javascript">

/***********************************************
* IFRAME Scroller script- © Dynamic Drive DHTML code library (www.dynamicdrive.com)
* This notice MUST stay intact for legal use
* Visit Dynamic Drive at http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ for full source code
***********************************************/

//specify path to your external page:
var iframesrc="external.htm"

//You may change most attributes of iframe tag below, such as width and height:
document.write('<iframe id="datamain" src="'+iframesrc+'" width="150px" height="150px" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" frameborder="1" scrolling="no"></iframe>')
</td>
  </tr>
</table>
</script>
