Marquee and Apostrophes

**htdefiant** · 09-26-2008, 12:09 AM

I am using the Cross browser Marquee script- © Dynamic Drive (www.dynamicdrive.com). When I put a word like can't into the script, it does not render on the page. But, when I change can't to cant, everything works just fine. What can I do about this?

Can you post a link to your page, and the page and dd?

Not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but:

http://match.collegiate-va.org is the url. On the source of that page is the marquee.

Also, where on the page? And then, where'd you get the code from(the page on dd). As in, link to it.
Thanks,
Nile
PS:
Your problem is a really big problem that is not that obvious, so if I fix it, I think ddadmin will update it. Or he will do it himself.

using firebug I just inserted the apostrophe into the word can't and it worked fine...

Sorry, Nayne, what's firebug?

Same with me, it doesn't look to me like in that page your actually rendering the div you want to scroll. What div do you want to scroll? Give me the id.
Firebug is an online tool to help you solve codes(as in problems with your code):

To me it doesn't look like firebug will help you considering your not calling the function, but its always good for future reference.
