CMotion and IE

[pixelbox]

Hi!
LOVE your CMotion script!!!!
I'm having a bit of a problem, though, and I was wondering if anyone could help.
I want to use the CMotion script along with another script I found. My test case worked fine in FF and IE 6

I wasn't concerned about the layout or styling...just trying to make sure both scripts were playing nice together. (Which they do here.)

Then I started developing the actual page, and I wanted to place the motion container inside a few nests for symantic and layout reasons (motioncontainer is nested in side 4 divs...trust me, it's gotta be that way).

The scroller works in FF but now doesn't scroll in IE.

Any thoughts?

#wrapper {position: relative; margin: 10px 0 10px 0;}
#content {position: relative; width: 770px; margin: 0; border: 5px solid black; background: #FDFDE0;}

The combination of negative and percentage margins that the above replaces is the problem.

Hey! Thanks for the quick response!

I need to keep the percentage and nagative margins for my layout to work properly. Is there anyway to change the javascript or any part of CMotion to make it work without changing my layout and styling?

Thanks!!!

Layout looked fine to me without it.

Well whaddaya know?!?!?!
I generally have had to use that percentage/negative margin technique to get my layouts to center in all common browsers, but you're right! It's still looks the same! I'm going to check safari right now!

Thanks a ton!

YIPPIEEE! It works there too!
Which actually makes me concerned that I've been coding harder than I've needed to for months now!

I'm somewhat familiar with that technique, it is only required (in my experience) in really tough cases.

I can't say I know a lot about this but... I'm trying to make this same script work on IE... and it doesn't. It works perfectly at DD's page, obviously, but I must be missing someting on mine... I read the posts above but they didn't really help me lol.
Here's the page i'm talking about

Think anyone could help me on this?
Thanks in advance

The script you are talking about is nowhere to be seen on your page. Neat flash version you have going there though. If you want help trouble shooting cmotion, set one up to the best of your ability somewhere, as a demo, and give us a link to it. BTW, I'm a big Dracula fan, in literature and the cinema. Never looked into any Dracula games or turfs though. Neat stuff.
