2 scripts on page = conflict. Please help!

[Mikey123]

Hi all,
I have installed the following slideshow script, which works fine: Slideshow script from http://www.bretteleben.de. The script is in a linked slide.js file.

I am trying to add a scrolling marquee script to the same page. The marquee script is in line in the HTML. When I do so there is a conflict - the slideshow completely disappears leaving an empty <div> </div>.

I have pasted the scrolling marquee script below. Any suggestions to resolve this please?

Many many thanks, db~

There may be other conflicts, problems. But you have an onload conflict. There are various ways to resolve this. In this case I would recommend replacing:

window.onload=populate

in the marquee script with:

if (window.addEventListener)
 window.addEventListener('load', populate, false);
else if (window.attachEvent)
 window.attachEvent('onload', populate);

That will resolve the onload conflict. If there are no other problems, you will be all set.

If you want more help:

Please post a link to the page on your site that contains the problematic code so we can check it out.

That did the trick John, many thanks!! Wow, I was really fortunate to obtain assistance from the actual author of the script!

Thanks again, Mikey123~db~
