ok... done... that didnt take long.

here is the script for the .js file called marquee

Quote:
var marqueewidth=550
var marqueeheight=18
var marqueespeed=2
var marqueebgcolor="#ffffff"
var pauseit=1

marqueespeed=(document.all)? marqueespeed : Math.max(1, marqueespeed-1) //slow speed down by 1 for NS
var copyspeed=marqueespeed
var pausespeed=(pauseit==0)? copyspeed: 0
var iedom=document.all||document.getElementById
if (iedom)
document.write(''+marqueecontent+'')
var actualwidth=''
var cross_marquee, ns_marquee

function populate(){
if (iedom){
cross_marquee=document.getElementById? document.getElementById("iemarquee") : document.all.iemarquee
cross_marquee.style.left=marqueewidth+8
cross_marquee.innerHTML=marqueecontent
actualwidth=document.all? cross_marquee.offsetWidth : document.getElementById("temp").offsetWidth
}
else if (document.layers){
ns_marquee=document.ns_marquee.document.ns_marquee2
ns_marquee.left=marqueewidth+8
ns_marquee.document.write(marqueecontent)
ns_marquee.document.close()
actualwidth=ns_marquee.document.width
}
lefttime=setInterval("scrollmarquee()",20)
}
window.onload=populate

function scrollmarquee(){
if (iedom){
if (parseInt(cross_marquee.style.left)>(actualwidth*(-1)+8))
cross_marquee.style.left=parseInt(cross_marquee.style.left)-copyspeed
else
cross_marquee.style.left=marqueewidth+8

}
else if (document.layers){
if (ns_marquee.left>(actualwidth*(-1)+8))
ns_marquee.left-=copyspeed
else
ns_marquee.left=marqueewidth+8
}
}

if (iedom||document.layers){
with (document){
document.write('')
if (iedom){
write('')
write('')
write('')
write('')
}
else if (document.layers){
write('')
write('')
write('')
}
document.write('')
}
}

here is the text that will scroll put it in a file called text.js

Quote:
var marqueecontent='Just launched! WW2 Nominal Roll ---- Check out our new Professional Products section now! click here. Enjoy your stay!'

and then just put

Quote:
<script src="text.js"></script>
<script src="marquee.js"></script>

into the head of the html document.

so you would want the text for the marquee to be in a seperate file, why not just use the whole marquee in an external file?
i guess i really dont see why you would need to put the text into an external file...

but i guess you would just put

Quote: var marqueecontent='Just launched! WW2 Nominal Roll ---- Check out our new Professional Products section now! click here. Enjoy your stay!'

into an external js then have it load at the top. im fairly sure that should work.

since im really bored right now and have nothing better to do i guess i could work up the seperate scripts for you and check if they work...
