The demo page you link to works fine in Firefox. So, unless it too has a problem in Firefox for you (in which case it would probably be an issue with settings in your Firefox browser), it probably is something to do with your installation.

If you want more help, I need a link to a page that shows the problem happening (it can just be an orphan page somewhere on your site/the net, doesn't have to be linked to or from your other pages). Otherwise it would be just a shot in the dark and/or a game of twenty questions trying to solve this issue for you.

Hello John
Thank's very much for responding

link 1 shows page in IE
LINK 2 SHOWS PAGE IN FF

So it appears to be browser settings but it still cannot see to modify CSS dimensions in either browser

Assistance appreciated

thanks

I need to see the page, not an image of it:

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

Hello John,
I think we may be missing each other

the url I have posted in the beginning of the thread is the actual installation on my site,
You can easily view the source to determine what I may done incorrectly or should be adjusted.

thanks very much

Pretty unobtrusive.

Anyways, just put the style on the page like it says on the demo page.

Follow the instructions there and it will work just fine.

Css has been included in the style, but with no results
Page not showing in Firefox and CSS does not render in IE

Is this something to do with doctype?

thanks

It helps to follow basic HTML practices. And -

These haven't been done here (from link in your post's source code):

Code:

  <style type="text/pscroller1.css">

Which should be:

Code:

  <style type="text/css">

And here:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">

//new pausescroller(name_of_message_array, CSS_ID, CSS_classname, pause_in_miliseconds)

new pausescroller(pausecontent,1, "pscroller1", 1000)
document.write("<br />")


</script>

Which should be:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">

//new pausescroller(name_of_message_array, CSS_ID, CSS_classname, pause_in_miliseconds)

new pausescroller(pausecontent, "pscroller1", "", 1000)
document.write("<br />")


</script>

That last bit document.write("<br />") isn't required.

By the way, if you want to use an external stylesheet, use a stylesheet link tag, ex:

Code:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="pscroller1.css" type="text/css">

not a style tag. Where pscroller1.css is a valid external stylesheet file in the same folder as the page. Again, it helps to follow basic HTML practices.

Thanks John
That was my original intention
Due to space limitations and configuration, I need to call external CSS and JS
Forgot the stylesheet link rel tag

thank you

For some unknown, it only works with absolute url

That shouldn't be the case. But if it works for you, that's fine.

I tried to check your example page:

econsumersearch.com/template/ct-040/pscrolltest.php

But it's not there at the moment.
