Marquee loop question

**theremotedr** · 11-15-2016, 04:01 PM

The fact that i have learning disabilities is why even the basic things do not register with me sometimes.
Like mlegg said, You've been doing this website long enough....That is correct because things are not the same for me as it is for you.

I cant help they way i am but trying to work things out as i go.

I get that. I've been doing this for 16 yrs and every day is a new learning experience. I have MS, multiple sclerosis, so my cognitive issues are too much at times and I step away for a day or two to figure it out.

I was playing with the code in the fiddle to see how things altered.
I couldn't understand where to put the CSS marquee code in the basic CSS file.
Trying to understand where to put it was one thing but then got so confused I had to upload my original file as I was getting in a mess.
I will try and work out where it needs to be placed when I can understand the layout.

it works yes but you used <marquee which is obsolete. You should really use current code standards so it works with all browsers. Check out this http://www.quackit.com/javascript/codes/javascript_scroll.cfm

Hi,
I did see that this morning but was stumped as to how to make the area the text scrolls in big enough for all the text to be shown.
Ive applied the code advised from the link above so you can see what i mean.
Once the text reaches the left hand side the scroll starts again but there was more text to be seen.
Making the 98% larger to say 130% you just get the text starting further across the page which is no good but same again,soon as the text reaches the left hand side it starts the scroll again without letting you see all the text before the restart of the scroll.
Ive changed the 98% to 100% as you will see but i am limited now ?
