Hi guys, You'll have to forgive me as I'm more of a designer by nature but as part of this utilised a bit of prototype javascript and upon being asked to change a variable 6 months down the line, am a bit stuck.
It's code somebody else has created called the news scroller and basically it scrolls content in a layer. Nothing exciting, I just can't see any speed control variables and was wondering if there's an easy way to get one in there. The prototype library it is currently using is 1.5, but I can update it if needs be. The code is as follows. <script language="javascript"> var boxHeight = $('news').style.height.replace('px','') var repeatHeight = $('news').scrollHeight //get the current height so we know when to wrap $('news').innerHTML = $('news').innerHTML + $ ('news').innerHTML //add a second copy so we can scroll down to the wrap point var stopScroll = 0 var x function scrollMe() { clearTimeout(x) if(stopScroll==1) { return } $('news').scrollTop=$('news').scrollTop+1 if($('news').scrollTop<=repeatHeight) { // keep on scrolin' x = setTimeout("scrollMe()",40) } else { //we have hit the wrap point $('news').scrollTop=0 x = setTimeout("scrollMe()",40) } } x = setTimeout("scrollMe()",3000) // start scrolling after one second </script> Thanks in advance, hopefully you can offer some assistance, Ed Barton --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prototype & script.aculo.us" group.
