Having just nicked the code for the random marquee bit, I tried to put a smiley in the middle to have that bouncing around. The smiley doesn't seem appear properly. Am I doing something wrong?

Right, Ive looked at the code for your user space and all the MARQUEE stuff is in properly (BTW its not nicking because its a tutorial). The reson the smiley is not apearing nis becasue the smileys are case sensitive so ZEN is not recognised as zen neither is Zen or zEn so put zen in the should look like this:




<SMILEY TYPE="zen"/>




Did you read the whole tutorial did it help you

Brilliant!! You are a genius!!
The tutorial was brilliant - I keep referring to it for various bits and peices, and to the other tutorials on here - "borrowing" bits of code from all over the place



BTW, and way of slowing it down just a tad? I'm now trying to get it to move slowly but smoothly. Any ideas? SCROLLDELAY is just a bit jerky and if I alter SCROLLAMOUNT it doesnt seem to move as much.

Scrolldelay=" " controls the amount of pixles it moves every millisecond. If you use it with fairly low variables it shouldnt apear as jerky. If you are using it for a freeroam script then an idea is to give every MARQUEE line the SCROLLDELAY attribut with VERY low variables thins should slow the thing down without making it to jerky. Hope that helps tell me if it doesnt


CK

Fantatstic, that works ok!
Cheers

Probably a daft question, but....
I've made the box-bit using the code from above, can I get that into the middle of the screen using ALIGN or EMBED or something similar? It's at the left of the screnen now and I wantit to be more central if possible. Any ideas?

Sorry missed this conversation. Try using the tag. Put the tag at the start of the code and put at the end of the code. Sorry for the delayed response.


CK

BTW nice effect you created by taking the SCOLLAMOUNT right down.


CK

Ta, I thought it was good!!

I've tried to get 3 smileys to go side-by-side usine , and . It didn't quite work according to plan. What I got was them in a vertical line instead of horizontal and the bottom one on the left instead of the right. How can I keep each one in seperate boxes on the same line?

Use this replacing the comments with the marquee coding. make sure the first width box of each MARQUEE is set to 100% instead of pixles
the height is up to you. Hope this helps tell me if it doesn't/does
Copy and paste me do!





ENTER FISRT SCRIPT


ENTER SECOND SCRIPT


ENTER SECOND SCRIPT

That now works brilliantly, except.....
There's a gap between the boxes which is extending the sides of the screen. Any way of getting rid of the gap? I've tried CELLPADDING="0" but to no avail.

Insert this








<SMILEY TYPE = "zen"/>









<SMILEY TYPE = "zen"/>









<SMILEY TYPE = "zen"/>








That SHOULD work if not............ ill fix it even more



CK

Absolutely spot on!!
Cheers

Probably not possible, but I'll ask anyway.....
Is it possible to have 3 freeroamers on the same line that will actually go across each other across the while width of the screen?
Here's hoping.......

Probably not possible, but I'll ask anyway.....
Is it possible to have 3 freeroamers on the same line that will actually go across each other across the whole width of the screen?
Here's hoping.......

Give me a couple of days Ill see what i can do

CK

Fantastic!!
Will await with baited breath.....

Sorry Im quite busy is this needed in a hurry?


CK

Not particularly....
Whenever you get the time
