Adding a scrolling text code, that will appear by the "E" or "N", or whatever browser icon you see. But because there's a "java based" ticker altready on the web site, the scrolling text won't work, is there a way of fixing this? :)

Here's the two codes....

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.2"
src="http://www.codeamber.org/js/nscodea.js">
</script>
</p>
<!-- end of Code Amber Ticker code (c)Copyright codeamber.org 2002-->







<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
var scrtxt="Name Of Web Site";
var lentxt=scrtxt.length;
var width=100;
var pos=1-width;

function scroll() {
pos++;
var scroller="";
if (pos==lentxt) {
pos=1-width;
}
if (pos<0) {
for (var i=1; i<=Math.abs(pos); i++) {
scroller=scroller+" ";}
scroller=scroller+scrtxt.substring(0,width-i+1);
}
else {
scroller=scroller+scrtxt.substring(pos,width+pos);
}
window.status = scroller;
setTimeout("scroll()",150);
}
-->
</script>
</head>

<BODY BGCOLOR=#000000 TEXT=#00DD00 onLoad="scroll();return true;">


TIA.

Dave.

Can you post the full page code.
You may be posing it in the wrong place.

Looks suspiciously like BB code.
It may be part of the BB code that is causing the conflict.

Is there any way of fixing it Degsy? :)

I e-mailed the ticker creator over a week ago, asking if he could help, and explaing the situation, but I've nothing from her/him!!! :(

onChange="displaydesc(document.a294.a969.selectedIndex)">

You're missing some code.
There should be a Script/Function called displaydesc(...)

There should be some code with descriptions of the sites.


It's nothing to do with the ticker.

Hmmmm, when I copied and pasted these, I thought I had everything I needed, I guess not!!! :(

You could try putting the ticker in an inline frame

Also....

function scroll() {
pos++;
var scroller="";
if (pos==lentxt) {
pos=1-width;
}
if (pos<0) {
for (var i=1; i<=Math.abs(pos); i++) {
scroller=scroller+" ";}
scroller=scroller+scrtxt.substring(0,width-i+1);
}
else {
scroller=scroller+scrtxt.substring(pos,width+pos);
}
window.status = scroller;
setTimeout("scroll()",150);
}



I don't see that function called anywhere in the page. that's the acrual scroll engine. There's also a link to an external javascript file "http://www.codeamber.org/js/nscodea.js" (that may be where the function degsy pointed out is located).

Okay, so being the copy paste kinda guy I am, where does all this fit in to making it work!!! :)

Thanks guys.

There are two parts to that Drop-Down script.
You only have one part of it.

You need to get the other.
Where did you get the script?

The web ring works fine as it is, it's the scrolling text that's not showing! :)

You'll have to post the URL.
Your code is definately missing the second part of the Drop Down script.

The code i've posted above is from BullyBeefs forum.

The ticker shows up fine for me.

What isn't working is the Drop-Down.
When you change to another site a description is supposed to show.
You haven't put that code it, so an Error is produced (see bottom left of browser window).

That's odd, cos I just went to three of the sites within the "web ring" and they all showed up okay!! :)

Goto Bully's site.
Click the Drop-Down Menu and change to a different site.
Notice that the text under the Drop-Down shows a description of the site.

Goto your site, change the Drop-Down.
Notice that you get an Error in the Lower Left of the Browser.

Oh shoot, I see what you mean now Degsy, sorry for being so dumb here!!! ;)

I'll change it over the weekend, if I add the scrolling text code as well, should that then work? :)

There's a conflict with the onLoad events.

Change
onLoad="scroll(); return true"
to
onFocus="scroll(); return true"
