1) Script Title:
Fading Ticker Tape Script

2) Script URL (on DD):

3) Describe problem:
I would like to center the script so it is in line with the asterisks.
How do I do it?

Add this to your CSS code:

Code:

#tickertape {
height:20px;
position:relative;
width:400px;
margin: 0 auto;
}

Good luck!

Sorry

Done that it hasn't worked.

#tickertape{
position:relative;
layer-background-color:black;
width:400px;
height:20px;
margin: 0 auto;
}

It doesn't work in IE (and maybe other browsers) because you don't have a doctype. Add this to the top of the document, before the <html> tag:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

Good luck!

Hurrah - Nearly there.

How do I center the text?

**Nile** · 03-29-2009, 04:53 PM

Code:

text-align: center;

In the css.
