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
