deactivate the link

[kool]

1) Script Title:
advanced rss ticker
2) Script URL (on DD):
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...ajax/index.htm
3) Describe problem:
Is it possible to deactivate the link ?
I mean when you click on the rss feed, it doesn't redirect you to a new page.

I also wondered what to do if I let the link activated and if I want the link to open in a webpage that is mine (part of my site).

Thank you

Replace

rssticker_ajax.prototype.rotatemsg=function(){
var instanceOfTicker=this
if (this.mouseoverBol==1) //if mouse is currently over ticker, do nothing (pause it)
setTimeout(function(){instanceOfTicker.rotatemsg()}, 100)
else{ //else, construct item, show and rotate it!
var tickerDiv=document.getElementById(this.tickerid)
var linktitle='<div class="rsstitle"><a href="'+this.link[this.pointer]+'">'+this.title[this.pointer]+'</a></div>'
var description='<div class="rssdescription">'+this.description[this.pointer]+'</div>'
var feeddate='<div class="rssdate">'+this.pubdate[this.pointer]+'</div>'
if (this.logicswitch.indexOf("description")==-1) description=""
if (this.logicswitch.indexOf("date")==-1) feeddate=""
var tickercontent=linktitle+feeddate+description //STRING FOR FEED CONTENTS 
this.fadetransition("reset") //FADE EFFECT- RESET OPACITY
tickerDiv.innerHTML=tickercontent
this.fadetimer1=setInterval(function(){instanceOfTicker.fadetransition('up', 'fadetimer1')}, 100) //FADE EFFECT- PLAY IT
this.pointer=(this.pointer<this.feeditems.length-1)? this.pointer+1 : 0
setTimeout(function(){instanceOfTicker.rotatemsg()}, this.delay) //update container every second
}
}

with

rssticker_ajax.prototype.rotatemsg=function(){
var instanceOfTicker=this
if (this.mouseoverBol==1) //if mouse is currently over ticker, do nothing (pause it)
setTimeout(function(){instanceOfTicker.rotatemsg()}, 100)
else{ //else, construct item, show and rotate it!
var tickerDiv=document.getElementById(this.tickerid)
var linktitle='<div class="rsstitle">+this.title[this.pointer]+'</div>'
var description='<div class="rssdescription">'+this.description[this.pointer]+'</div>'
var feeddate='<div class="rssdate">'+this.pubdate[this.pointer]+'</div>'
if (this.logicswitch.indexOf("description")==-1) description=""
if (this.logicswitch.indexOf("date")==-1) feeddate=""
var tickercontent=linktitle+feeddate+description //STRING FOR FEED CONTENTS 
this.fadetransition("reset") //FADE EFFECT- RESET OPACITY
tickerDiv.innerHTML=tickercontent
this.fadetimer1=setInterval(function(){instanceOfTicker.fadetransition('up', 'fadetimer1')}, 100) //FADE EFFECT- PLAY IT
this.pointer=(this.pointer<this.feeditems.length-1)? this.pointer+1 : 0
setTimeout(function(){instanceOfTicker.rotatemsg()}, this.delay) //update container every second
}
}

in rssticker.js. But the question remains why would you want this. Also this script is a little outdated, and really needs an update(mainly the use of -moz-opacity instead of opacity)

Thank you. Now the response to your question. It's because there are too many ads when you open the RSS feed.

I've tested your script but it doesn't work. :-(
