Move across the screen

[Steve Machol]

Watch me move across the screen.

[John R]

Please no not scrolling text............

[Steve Machol]

Why not? :D

[John R]

see below ....

[John R]

as i said i guess some bright spark will come up with a long long long post that does nothing but move so you cannot really read what it says..

or combine the two styles and i will see what really is going to happen here

and then maybee try to get really cockky and do something like this so you cant read a thing.......

Oh well seems you cant add 3 of the new tags as it causes a table error on the page....

[Jo]

You two are making me dizzy! :eek:

[Jo]

Steve,

Don't give me too much credit. Some of the effects were easy, just used the titles you gave the threads. I had to cheat a bit to figure out the scrolling text.

I have to agree with John on the horizontal scroll. Is there any way to adjust the speed?

[Steve Machol]

I don't know of any way to adjust the speed. I looked at the code, but there's nothing obvious.

[mullo]

Makes one dizzy for sure................Mullo :p

[John R]

scrollamount=1
try adding that into the code used for the marquee as its in the vertical but not the horizontial scrool..

[Steve Machol]

Thanks John. I was looking at the horizontal, not the vertical. The vertical one already had 'scrollamount=1' so I changed it to 'scrollamount=2'.

Is this better? :)

[John R]

its this thats too fast


was ok on slow speed gave you chance to read it


Looking at them both i kinda like the updown one but the side ways one is a bit.....
could it scroll the other way so as to make it easier to read..
thats right to left

[Rick-Strong]

Can the horizontal scroll move Right to Left ?
Just a thought.

[ioconnell]

how do you do that???????

[Steve Machol]

Rick,
I'm not sure. I haven't gotten that far yet.

Ian,
There is a way for you to find out how this is done! You'll have to be a bit clever. ;)

[ioconnell]

[B]Oh so that is how it works


I may have cheated a little

[Jo]

Ian:

If you used the hint in one of John's posts, then I don't think you could call that cheating. That is how lots of folks find out how cool things on the internet work.

However, there are some people that try to hide everything from view. Too many people borrowing but not giving credit to the folks who did the writing.

I see you are getting the hang of it quickly though; your post to Steve and Marlena's Birthday thread came out looking really good!
:D

Oh well

[Jo]

Steve,

Nothing happens if you make <marquee direction="right"> into <marquee direction="left"> ?

[John R]

Eh Oh

[Jo]

:D :bbg: :DJohn,
You actually let me beat you to the solution? You are getting rusty. ;):D :bbg: :D

[John R]

Oh dear time for a bath in wd40 then for me :hammer:

I thought that it would be in the hack Steve has added that controlled the direction :confused:
Me i just went to another forum (were Steve is ONLY mod)..

Just how do you do that.........

[Jo]

John,

Look at my marquee post. Now think of the vB code you use to make the vertical scroll work. What is missing on the horizontal scroll code?

[hcjilson]

What is going on here??
Is this something only techies can do or is it tied to MS Explorer, or PC's vs Mac's?I can't seem to find any horizontal or verticle controls-or flip controls etc.etc.right on down the list of new threads in the test forum.This is patently unfair to fledgling moderators!
Please don't anyone say DOH!

[Steve Machol]

Harry, unfortunately these effects are only viewable with Internet Explorer. :(

[John R]

xxxx
Oh i give up...................

This Moves Across The Screen

[hcjilson]

Bill Gates is having an even better day than that!!!! I just heard on the way back from lunch, that the gov't has dropped the break up of microsoft.I guess the rich weren't getting rich enough! What do you expect under this incompetent administration!

At Some point I will go over to Explorer to try it....but it won't be today!:angry:
bst from hj
PS by my count 22 to go!

[John R]

Thank You oh luvly Jo.....

[Jo]

Harry,

Whatever you do, don't try Netscape 6. It is horrible. Give IE a try. I have to admit that I still use Netscape Messenger for mail because I just can't get used to Outlook.

Think of all of the toys you are missing here and elsewhere!

[hcjilson]

Jo,
I remember back before I had formally introduced myself, reading of your horror story and the mess you were in.Pete played a hand in your resurection as I recall.Coincidently I was just about download 6 and fortunatly saw your exchange first, thereby dodging yet another bullet!I have IE and Outlook and it works just fine.Its just that I am unfamiliar with it and sticking to the tried and true.I will have to learn it because netscape can be limiting in the world according to Gates.

[Sean]

Harry,
Stay with 4.7 or use IE 5.0 or later.......Netscape's 6.0 or what ever version there up to now(i think it's 6.2) is a bundle of nerves.
:shiner:

[Sean]

Just need to correct myself. Just checked out both web sites. Netscape is at ver 6.1 and IE is at 6.0
