Pausing up-down message scroller

[hair]

once I added the script, I can view the first 2 messages of 5. After that the word undefined shows up. I double checked to make sure there are no spaces etc... but still it is showing the word undefined. Everything else including the scrollerwidth and height is perfect. Hope you help me, thx in advance

here's a link to view what I mean

I just downloaded your page. After I removed the scripts added by the server, everything worked fine. By process of elimination, it is this geocities script that is the problem:

<script language="JavaScript" src="http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mc/mc.js">

near the bottom of the page. That script uses the variable 'i' as does your script. I changed 'i' to 'j' in your script and it helped some. Unfortunately, the above mentioned geocities script also calls in two other scripts. One of which uses 'j' as a variable. To make a long story short, replace your script with this one:

      <SCRIPT type=text/javascript>

//configure the below five variables to change the style of the scroller
var scrollerdelay='3000' //delay between msg scrolls. 3000=3 seconds.
var scrollerwidth='350px'
var scrollerheight='165px'
var scrollerbgcolor='#4D4D4D'
//set below to '' if you don't wish to use a background image
var scrollerbackground=''

//configure the below variable to change the contents of the scroller
var messages=new Array()
messages[0]="<center><b>Welcome to the Batscave</b></center>"
messages[1]="Our rooms are friendly and outgoing, if you are a minor please let the other chatters know, on occasion there will be Adult content"
messages[2]="Register your name, be sure to let us know if you would like a log in gif as well"

messages[4]="We're here to have fun, so log in and meet the friendly people of the Batscave"

}

window.onload=startscroll

</SCRIPT>

and it should work, all 'i' variables replaced by 'xdt'
