I only want the first item to scroll and anything that is visible after clicking the EXPAND button to stay where it is. If you see the [a href=\"http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex2/expandticker.htm\" target=\"_blank\"]demo[/a] again, youll notice that the links change, i want those links to be scrolling right to left continoulsy looping and when you click the EXPAND button, for the layer to become visible underneath while also staying put. with the example you gave, 'marquee' everything goes from right to left! and the EXPAND button also dissapears untill the last item has gone past. thanks for your help. kf
