Cross Browser marquee BUG

[chriis]

Hi,
A bug in the cross browser marquee:

If the data to show is too long, the horizontal scrollbar grows a lot too.

Look it: http://www.travelex.it/

I could fix this increasing the negative number of left property:

.
.
var copyspeed=marqueespeed
var pausespeed=(pauseit==0)? copyspeed: 0
var iedom=document.all||document.getElementById

if (iedom)
document.write('<span id="temp" style="visibility:hidden;position:absolute;top:-100;left:-1000000">'+marqueecontent+'</span>');

var actualwidth=''
var cross_marquee, ns_marquee
.
.

Look it fixed: http://tvx3.nexolink.com/it/

But … this works only in IExplorer, Firefox but not in Opera L.
Can you help me with this?

Many thanks in advance,

What's Opera L? Anyways, the way to fix unwanted scrollbars in Opera is generally to wrap another:

<div style="overflow:hidden;">

script's body code goes here

</div>

around the offending content. In rare cases, this may not be enough so a small bit of Opera specific code can be added to scroll one full segment of the content to its end position onload and then back again using a 20 millisecond timeout for the back part. This last bit is to be avoided unless the extra wrap doesn't do it.
