100% Width for Memory Scroller

[PZ5413]

1) Script Title: Memory Scroller

2) Script URL (on DD): http://dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex...ryscroller.htm

3) Describe problem:
I currently have this set to 1000px, which works fine with users using a 1024x768 resolution, but falls a bit short for anyone using a larger res, such as myself, and I'm sure many of you. I tried setting the memory width equal to 100% but all that did was set it to 100px instead. Is there anyway to set this scroller to a 100% width?

Here is where it's being used... it's a ticker along the bottom of the page:

Try changing the lines:

var combinedcssTable="width:"+(parseInt(memorywidth)+6)+"px;background-color:"+memorybgcolor+";padding:"+memorypadding+";"+borderCSS+";"
var combinedcss="width:"+memorywidth+";height:"+memoryheight+";"

to:

var combinedcssTable="width:100%;background-color:"+memorybgcolor+";padding:"+memorypadding+";"+borderCSS+";"
var combinedcss="width:100% ;height:"+memoryheight+";"

to get it to become 100% width wise.

I don't see any difference between those two... I think they're exactly the same lol.

Didn't work btw. :-)

Ops, going senile. Fixed.

Awesome.. only a slight problem now, if ya check it out... the scroller stops once the end of the text completes... and thats it... lol. Also, it doesn't start at the beginning either. Would it be easier to implement a 100% scroll ticker type thing with the Cross Browser Marquee instead of the Memory Scroller?

Also, no prob with the senile thing... before I tried the same code you just gave me and it didn't work. I forgot that I put a wrap around it to center the 1000px scroller and the wrap was set to 1000px as well lol. I fixed that now and I'm stuck with the problem above.

With ill attempts at getting any tickers to stretch 100%, I've decided to go with the ESPN Bottomline ticker for now.

If anyone can configure a way to get either the Memory Scroller or Cross Browser Marquee scripts to stretch 100% and still work properly that'd be great! Thanks!

Actually, I don't get the problem with the scroller stopping once it's done with the 1st cycle. I do see the problem with the scroller not starting from the very beginning on subsequent cycles though.

The below modified script includes the original changes, plus the fix for the later problem mentioned above:
