Javascript Marquee problem

[perezf]

I have a javascript marquee, that i want it to go slower than the 1 minium it allows me.

Can anyone help?

<script type="text/javascript">

/***********************************************

var delayb4scroll=2000 //Specify initial delay before marquee starts to scroll on page (2000=2 seconds)
var marqueespeed=1 //Specify marquee scroll speed (larger is faster 1-10)
var pauseit=1 //Pause marquee onMousever (0=no. 1=yes)?

////NO NEED TO EDIT BELOW THIS LINE////////////

var copyspeed=marqueespeed
var pausespeed=(pauseit==0)? copyspeed: 0
var actualheight=''

function scrollmarquee(){
if (parseInt(cross_marquee.style.top)>(actualheight*(-1)+) //if scroller hasn't reached the end of its height
cross_marquee.style.top=parseInt(cross_marquee.style.top)-copyspeed+"px" //move scroller upwards
else //else, reset to original position
cross_marquee.style.top=parseInt(marqueeheight)+8+"px"
}

function initializemarquee(){
cross_marquee=document.getElementById("vmarquee")
cross_marquee.style.top=0
marqueeheight=document.getElementById("marqueecontainer").offsetHeight
actualheight=cross_marquee.offsetHeight //height of marquee content (much of which is hidden from view)
if (window.opera || navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Netscape/7")!=-1){ //if Opera or Netscape 7x, add scrollbars to scroll and exit
cross_marquee.style.height=marqueeheight+"px"
cross_marquee.style.overflow="scroll"
return
}
setTimeout('lefttime=setInterval("scrollmarquee()",30)', delayb4scroll)
}

if (window.addEventListener)
window.addEventListener("load", initializemarquee, false)
else if (window.attachEvent)
window.attachEvent("onload", initializemarquee)
else if (document.getElementById)
window.onload=initializemarquee


</script>

Change the delayb4scroll to something greater than 2000.

That would only affect the start of the script

Right now it is set to 2 seconds, so that means that the script wont start scrolling until the 2 seconds have been reached.

I need to know how i can slow down the actual scroll

 

This Part

var marqueespeed=1 //Specify marquee scroll speed (larger is faster 1-10)

 

1 is the lowest it will go so i want to know how i can manipulate the script to make it go slower.

This is the line of the script that actually calls the movement function:

setTimeout('lefttime=setInterval("scrollmarquee()",30)', delayb4scroll)

 

The 30 is the number of milliseconds between the animation calls. You need to increase the number of milliseconds to slow it down. Bump it up to 100, 200, etc until you get the desired effect.

Maybe sleep/wait function....?
