Unable to View Memory Ticker

**Drexxus** · 05-19-2008, 08:22 PM

1) Script Title: Memory Ticker (Home -> Scrollers)

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...moryticker.htm

3) Describe problem: I've copied the ticker CSS and script onto a website I'm currently working on, but the ticker doesn't show up at all.

I'm pretty sure the problem isn't my browser (Safari v3.1.1?), since I can view the demo on DD just fine.

Here's a test I was working on: http://arenatournament.webs.com/scroller.htm

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Wrath of the Lich King Info</title>
<body background="http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t212/Razerai/Wrath/parchment-light3.jpg">

<style type="text/css">

#memoryticker{
background-color: lightyellow;
width: 450px;
font: bold 12px Verdana;
/*Tip: add in height attribute here for multiple line scroller*/
border: 1px solid black;
padding: 3px;
/*Change 0.7 below to a different number if desired (0.7=0.7 seconds)*/
/*Remove below line to remove transitional effect in IE. Below line should always appear last within this CSS*/
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.GradientWipe(GradientSize=1.0 Duration=0.7)
}

</style>

<table width="885" height="25" align="center">
<tr>
<td>


<script type="text/javascript">

Please help

Thanks in advance.

Inside your ticker contents, any apostrophes need to be backslashed (\'), to tell the script to treat them as literal apostrophes. So for example, in your first ticker content, add to it the part in red:

Code:

tickercontents[0]='<a href="http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/05/17/wotlk-friends-and-family-alpha-patch-notes-leaked/">WotLK Friends and Family Alpha Patch Notes leaked</a> - They\'re pretty barebones, but there\'s some intriguing information to be found.</a>

Do this for all occurrences of single apostrophes within your user defined content.
