Box containing scrolling set of products

[Goz]

I'm looking at putting a box containing a scrolling set of images. The effect I'm after can be seen in the right hand column of

www.tritontools.co.uk

(I know it's not an Actinic site...)


Has anyone done this with Actinic? If so, could you point me in the right direction?


thanks

All they've done is surrond a long list of products with

<MARQUEE behavior= "scroll" align= "center" direction= "up" height="120" scrollamount= "2" scrolldelay= "20" onmouseover='this.stop()' onmouseout='this.start()'>

.
.
.
</MARQUEE>

I think this used to do nothing on Firefox / Netscape but I see it works OK with Firefox 2. The box won't stop scrolling in Opera.

A bit of googling for MARQUEE TAG will tell you more. See http://www.javascriptkit.com/javatutors/marquee.shtml for a decent overview.

Thanks for the prompt and informative reply, Norman, as always.

I'll investigate and then work out if I can put a list of Actinic products on the home page for the site I'm working on.

How did you see the code? They've disabled the mouse right click function, haven't they?

regards

Andy

Bloody annoying popup message. Must irk a lot of valid customers. Waste of time too - I've never seen a website yet that I couldn't easily get past such nuisances. However, in this case all I did was View Source from the File menu.

There are no trade secrets or copyright stuff there - it's straight out of an HTML primer. If there had been any proprietary code there I'd have respected that.

Thanks again, Norman. Yet another useful tip!!
