h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Me too.

The site I obtained the original script from (which I modified enough that there's probably more of my own code than their's in what got moderated) must have changed their terms of use since I first posted the page. I had checked their terms of use to make sure I was allowed to suggest it for H2G2 before posting, but they now say that you can't redistribute their scripts. I'm going to rewrite the script from scratch, but the page may be down for a while.

put me down

if you need any help with the scriptting pop over to the programmers corner A604937

I think I'll start off just hacking the code, although once I've got it up again I'll probably go over and request comments/suggestions/etc.

Very nice! Sign me up!

Any progress?

-Spike A.

I think so; is listed in the proposed GuideML 1.0 spec., with a number of optional parameters...

Yeah, but what about the cross-browser code?

-Spike A.

There won't be anything in the GuideML standard that doesn't work across all the version 4+ browser platforms... I hope...

Well...

ditto

no need her is the code that
I had got one that was lying around



my text



x = 1100;
xSpeed = 5;
function AnimateShip() {
document.all.item('sh1').style.left = x;
//change this left to the other
x = x - xSpeed;
if (x < -200) x = 1100;
anim = setTimeout("AnimateShip()",50);
}

function ChangeSpeed(changeTo) {
xSpeed=300;
// var to show the speed of marquee to be inc in final gadget

}

There seems to be a problem with that page. If I test it, I get:

Bad closing element BODY expecting SCRIPT

not really my fault but try sticking another /script in until it works

just checked it not my fault the parser hates it it works fine in raw html

If you're trying to show this on h2g2, forget it. All "" elements entered by nthe user are stripped for "security reasons".

You need to put it on an off-site page if you want to demonstrate it.

It might work fine in IE, but doesn't move at all in Netscape. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

oh err..........................

well that thew a spanner in the works

Yes! Marquee, cross-browser style!!!

Gets my vote! (actually, anything cross-browser gets my vote!).
