Ok gents, here it is (for what it's worth,

carRace

(not sure if everything is there [photos,eg], but you should get the idea nonetheless)
Again, it is not exactly what you are looking for, but it adaptable. Also, if you post code here and I'm around, I'll see what I can do to help.

Re emailing me -- I try to keep that for amusement & paying clients only, so....

Hello everyone!
Over the weekend I got talked into doing a CD for a photographer friend of mine. At about 2:00 am I suddenly thought that doing a horizontal scrolling image maybe the ticket, unfortunatly i've got no idea how to do this. So this morning I started looking for some info. Low and behold here it is.

I'm more a ASP/Server side kind of guy but what ever what ever info I can get would be a great help.

Thanks

Paul

Vinny,

Defiantly, if you have any other similar code please post it or email. I'm going to start putting something together for this site Monday or Tuesday and could use all the assistance I can get. I'm not a DHTML guru but I get by with a little help

Hi Adam,

You should be able to create it by changing the left/posLeft attributes of the divs with a setTimeout.

something like:
newLeft = parseInt(divStyle.posLeft)
newLeft -= Math.floor( Math.random() * 50)
divStyle.visibility = 'visible';
divStyle.posLeft = newLeft;

where divStyle equates to:
document.all.divID.style
document.getElementById(divID).style
document.layers[divID]

You may need to place your images within an array of divs (real or functionally) so that you can rotate through them

If you need more, let me know (I wrote a 'car race' script that might help you along).

I assume you are talking about the scrolling image?

No, I haven't seen a script like that. But then again, I haven't checked any dHTML sites recently...

The closest thing to it that I've seen is a somewhat similar one that, believe it or not, I made in Visual Basic , and those annoying dHTML cursor trails.

I guess that you could adapt the cursor script to this. It should be easier, seeing as the area is smaller, and only X co-ords are needed.
