crossbrowser vertical marquee

[nop86]

Currently, this script scrolls from bottom to top. Is there anyway I can reverse this?

Thanks!

Rules, which script? Please provide a link to the script.

Thanks for letting me know where it was (or at least close, you gave me the horizontal one), I did a search DD but my terms didn't match anything. There appears to be no real simple way to reverse the direction so, I did a minor rewrite, note one additional variable to be configured is mspos. It is set properly for the demo but if you use different content for the marquee it may have to be adjusted. Here is the mod:

<script type="text/javascript">

//Specify the marquee's width (in pixels)
var marqueewidth="200px"
//Specify the marquee's height
var marqueeheight="150px"
//Specify the marquee's marquee speed (larger is faster 1-10)
var marqueespeed=2
//Pause marquee onMousever (0=no. 1=yes)?
var pauseit=1
//Adjust marquee's relative start position for each cycle including first (larger is higher up)
var mspos=38
//Specify the marquee's content
//Keep all content on ONE line, and backslash any single quotations (ie: that\'s great):
