Hello,

 

I am trying to avoid using the <marquee></marquee> tags

 

The given code from a website is

 

Step 1: Insert the below code in the <head> section of your page:

 

<style type="text/css">

#marqueecontainer{
position: relative;
width: 200px; /*marquee width */
height: 200px; /*marquee height */
background-color: white;
overflow: hidden;
border: 3px solid orange;
padding: 2px;
padding-left: 4px;
}

</style>

<script type="text/javascript">

/***********************************************
* Cross browser Marquee II- © Dynamic Drive (www.dynamicdrive.com)
* This notice MUST stay intact for legal use
* Visit http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ for this script and 100s more.
***********************************************/

var delayb4scroll=2000 //Specify initial delay before marquee starts to scroll on page (2000=2 seconds)
var marqueespeed=2 //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)+)
cross_marquee.style.top=parseInt(cross_marquee.style.top)-copyspeed+"px"
else
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
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>

 

The CSS at the top controls the basic look of the marquee. Also refer to the variables inside script for additional config options.

 

Step 2: Then add the below HTML to the <body> where you want the marquee to appear:

 

<div id="marqueecontainer" onMouseover="copyspeed=pausespeed" onMouseout="copyspeed=marqueespeed">
<div id="vmarquee" style="position: absolute; width: 98%;">

<!--YOUR SCROLL CONTENT HERE-->

<h4>Your scroller contents</h4>

<!--YOUR SCROLL CONTENT HERE-->

</div>
</div>

 

I want to create two marquees, but if I edit one, the other is changed...how do I get two seperate marquee's to run???

function initializemarquee(){

cross_marquee=document.getElementById("vmarquee")

cross_marquee.style.top=0

marqueeheight=document.getElementById("marqueecontainer").offsetHeight

 

those lines  (and any other with a hard coded getElementById) need to be ablt to accept different values for the element you want the marquee in. this means you need to pass these element ids to the fucntion and swap the hardcoded id's for variables.

 

Also the settings - you will need to be able to make an array of each setting and pass which key of an array the different marquee elements will need to use....

thanks for the reply, I'm not sure what you mean though.

 

Do I basically duplicate those lines you posted

 

function initializemarquee(){
cross_marquee=document.getElementById("vmarquee")
cross_marquee.style.top=0
marqueeheight=document.getElementById("marqueecontainer").offsetHeight

 

and change the variables? to like marquee2? and change the id of the second marquee box from vmarquee to vmarquee2??
