problem putting 2 scripts together

[Toadward]

Hi,

i've got a problem with some pieces of code i put together. It works if you run it with ie5.x or nn6.x, but with nn 4.7 it doesn't run :-(

I took the code of the dhtml guestbook (the preview function is done with dhtml) and added the code of the newsscroller-script. So if the message is longer than the layer, you may scroll through it.
As i mentioned already it works fine with ie5.x and nn6.x, but not with nn4.7x.

Also the guestbook script does not run on my machine with nn4.7x (local), but i tested it online, and there is no problem :-(

You may find my version at

Can someone help me ??

Thx
Toadward

First you'll have to change the position styles for scrollerContainer and scrollerText to absolute -- NN4 doesn't like it if you try to write to relatively positioned layers.

Then change this line in writeIt():

this.writeref.write("text");

to this:

this.writeref.write(text);

The first one is causing it write "text" instead of the message passed to it.

To make it scroll, change this line in moveDown():

{ if(this.y>-this.scrollHeight+Container.clipHeight)

to this:

{ if(this.y>-this.clipHeight+Container.clipHeight)

since measuring the clip.height is more dependable than document.height for dynamic layers.

And if you want to retain the original styles when the text is updated (NN4 loses styles for a layer when you write to it), add these two lines somewhere after the browser check in the script:

wrap1= (bw.ns4)?'<span style="font-family:verdana,arial;font-size:10px">':'';
wrap2= (bw.ns4)?'</span>':'';

and change this line in preview():

text='Name:
'+form.name.value+'
Kommentar:
'+form.message.value+'
';

to this:

text=wrap1+'Name:
'+form.name.value+'
Kommentar:
'+form.message.value+'
'+wrap2;

Another demonstration of DHTML capabilities in NS4. Hehehe.

Your the man DCage.

Hi,
thx for your suggestions.
Some "mistakes" were not fixed by me before uploading the script like "text". That was just to try some things.

I will post my results here, when i changed the code you suggested..

Big thx
