Making memory scroller vertical?

Script: Memory Scroller
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...ryscroller.htm

How can I make the script scroll something vertically?

That's a bizarre idea because text doesn't go up and down.

totally untested guess that probably won't work without some more tweaking:

Basically... switch anything "horizontal" to "vertical", x to y, width to height, etc etc. and the reverse.

then for your content use
l 
i 
k 
e 
 
t 
h 
i 
s 

...ew, Heh.

Do you want do to images? I just saw a thread today with a cool script for that, but I can't seem to find where it is. I'll post if I do see it.
But... consider, if you're not, using images. that way you don't have to deal with a line break after every letter.

I don't think this is a great idea... but I can be convinced... why do you need vertical?

hmmm. looks like it could only scroll some chunks of HTML.

is it possible of having an IFRAME version of this?

Hmmm, was the original script you mentioned somehow iframe enabled that I missed? If so, how?

If not, you really must tell me more about how you want an iframe involved in this vertical version.

I'm confused now as well.

Now that the memory scroller is able to scroll vertically, is it possible to make it pause? after a certain amount of pixels scrolled or maybe after a certain amount of seconds scrolled?

Hope someone can figure that out, then this script will be the ultimate scroller.

I was trying to use the modified (vertical) version of the memory scroller to present data from mysql. However, in Netscape (6) it pushes all contents far below, and drags it up along with the scrolling text. In IE that does not happen. Is it possible to solve the problem?
