Marquee Script

[Beverleyh]

The script is there - we can see it working - so view the source code of the page that ajfmrf has kindly prepared for you and copy the script path into your browser to download the js file.

Thanks Beverleyh and ajfmrf and all others who contributed to the tread. I can see the script working and it is working perfectly. When I click on the page I go to View Page Source. When I click on the "marquee.js" it goes over to the 404 page code as I indicated. I have not seen this before - am I missing something?

Yes. You're not using that script, its tag may be removed. The marquee is being driven by another script. On your current as of this typing:

train.webitry.net/

page, it's using this script:

train.webitry.net/my_js/cross_marq.js

This is train now thinks it is an aircraft!

[ajfmrf]

it is not at the top unless you got the wrong script in use.


Okay here are all the files for the page:

This is there but not for what I was working on it must
be for something else you want .

If you don't use my css file(myStyle.css) it will not appear
as you want it

I have used your css page and it still flies around in the clouds! The only thing I had to change was the path to the hills.jpg
It effect is working as required in your test arrangement but somehow I cannot get it to transfer.

Well the page is there and if you can't transfer it copy and paste it............

Yes, I copied and pasted the css file and the .js file but no go. That is what I mean by the can't transfer.... it has me foxed.

I think this might be a good time for you to look at a basic CSS tutorial - you've been provided with all the materials but now you need a better understanding of how to use them. Unfortunately, we cannot do that for you. I appreciate that this is probably not what you want to hear but learning how to manipulate HTML and CSS for yourself will put you in much better stead in the future.

Actually, what you have up at:

train.webitry.net/

looks pretty good now. Just get rid of:

	   <script type="text/javascript" src="my_js/marquee.js"></script>

and in my_js/cross_marq.js change:

var marqueecontent='<img src="marquee.gif"/>'

to:

var marqueecontent='<img src="album/marquee.gif"/>'

The only remaining issue at that point should be that the train disappears suddenly as it nears the left side of the banner. I think that might be able to be fixed by changing the marqueecontent variable to include two train images with a lot of space between them, something like:

var marqueecontent='<img src="album/marquee.gif" style="padding-right: 850px"/><img src="album/marquee.gif" style="padding-right: 850px"/>'

You can play around with that 850px figure (two places) to get just the sort of effect you want.
