[RugbyRugby]

1) CODE TITLE: I think it's Marquee Script-�

2) AUTHOR NAME/NOTES: Dynamic Drive as far as I know

3) DESCRIPTION: Newsscroller

4) URL TO CODE: http://www.midwestrugby.org/08sevens...andlodging.htm

or, ATTACHED BELOW (see #3 in guidelines below): I can't figure out where to go to get the instructions on 'how to' put the code in the page correctly, 'cause right now the page scrolls way to far to the right . . . any help will be greatly appreciated . . .

That's not an official Dynamic Drive script. But it looks like it was modified from one:

http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex2/cmarquee.htm

Anyways, get rid of this (from your page's source code):

      <FONT 
      class=newstitle>
      <SPAN id=temp 
      style="LEFT: -200px; VISIBILITY: hidden; POSITION: absolute; TOP: -100px"><NOBR>Benefit Auction</a>&nbsp; &nbsp; - &nbsp; &nbsp;<font color="#FFFFFF">Autographed Guitar from STYX</a>&nbsp; &nbsp; - &nbsp; &nbsp;Items from Local Sports Celebrities</a>&nbsp; &nbsp; - &nbsp; &nbsp;Live Music from Hyper fuzz</a>&nbsp; &nbsp; - &nbsp; &nbsp;Rugby all day at the University of Iowa</a>&nbsp; &nbsp; - &nbsp; &nbsp;The Magic Bus</a>&nbsp; &nbsp; - &nbsp; &nbsp;Volleyball</a>&nbsp; &nbsp; - &nbsp; &nbsp;Bar Oympics and much more</a>&nbsp; &nbsp; - &nbsp; &nbsp;Join us</a>&nbsp; &nbsp; - &nbsp; &nbsp;Let the Good Times Roll</A></NOBR></SPAN></P>

Change the highlighted as shown (add the red 0) in the script:

 . . . rollerbgcolor="#000000"
//Pause newsscroller onMousever (0=no. 1=yes)?
var pauseit=1

//Specify the newsscroller's content (don't delete <nobr> tag)
//Keep all content on ONE line, and backslash any single quotations (ie: that\'s great):

var newsscrollercontent='<nobr><font class="newstitle"><font color="#FFFFFF"><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 36pt" face="High Speed"><b>Benefit Auction</a>&nbsp; &nbsp; - &nbsp; &nbsp;<font color="#FFFFFF">Autographed Guitar from STYX</a>&nbsp; &nbsp; - &nbsp; &nbsp;<font color="#FFFFFF">Items from Local Sports Celebrities</a>&nbsp; &nbsp; - &nbsp; &nbsp;<font color="#FFFFFF">Live Music from Hyper fuzz</a>&nbsp; &nbsp; - &nbsp; &nbsp;<font color="#FFFFFF">Rugby all day at the University of Iowa</a>&nbsp; &nbsp; - &nbsp; &nbsp;<font color="#FFFFFF">The Magic Bus</a>&nbsp; &nbsp; - &nbsp; &nbsp;<font color="#FFFFFF">Volleyball</a>&nbsp; &nbsp; - &nbsp; &nbsp;<font color="#FFFFFF">Bar Oympics and much more</a>&nbsp; &nbsp; - &nbsp; &nbsp;<font color="#FFFFFF">Join us</a>&nbsp; &nbsp; - &nbsp; &nbsp;<font color="#FFFFFF">Let the Good Times Roll</font></nobr>'

newsscrollerspeed=(document.all)? newsscrollerspeed : Math.max(1, newsscrollerspeed-1) //slow speed down by 1 for NS
var copyspeed=newsscrollerspeed

var iedom=document.all||document.getElementById

That's it!

Thank you very much . . . not time left to work on it tonight, but I'll let you know tomorrow if it worked for me.

Have a great 4th of July.

Bernie - 1227:

You are correct, it is in a Table cell right now, http://www.midwestrugby.org/08sevens...andlodging.htm. I've been playing 'round and discovered it works just fine IF I keep it out of a Table. If you've got a way to put the 'marquee' newsscroller in a Table, and/or cell please let me know. I will go in and change everything so that it is by itself IF there's no other way. I didn't know that 'cause I don't have much education in Java Script. The newsscroller is about a third of the way down the page, just below the 'Speakeasy' and the Fox 100.7 radio station banner. Was pulling my hair out until I put the newsscroll all by itself.

Thanks for pointing that information out, and I'll be changing it later today . . . it's already 2:05 AM and I need to hit the hey, as they say.

Cheers,
Shawn

Being in a table doesn't matter, as long as you make the changes as outlined in my previous post, it will be fine.

John:

Will do that later today to see if I 'get it'! Already made the changes to another page I'm working on for another Rugby 7s Tournament in the Midwest, and it came out GREAT. Thanks for your help.
