    Scrolling content problem

    Hi Guys,
    If you check out my site you will see that there is a news box on the right hand side. Well it should be scrolling buts not. It does when i preview the site but once i upload it it dies on me. Ive checked the code and as far as i can see there is no problem.
    If anyone could have a quick glance at the code and see if they can see something i cant i would be very grateful.

    Thanks,
    Ash - webiste manager

    You have

    <iframe id="NewsWindow" src="http://www.creepersbsp.co.uk/news_win.htm" width="130" height="200" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="border: #01349A 1px solid;"></iframe>

    and that scrolling="no" is probably the culprit.

    Also, try viewing the page in Firefox and use its Tools / JavaScript Console to see other error messages.

      Hi,
      Thanks for the reply!
      The scrolling="no" code is to set manual scrolling and it should be automatic. I tried the java console and no errors. Im completely baffled!
      Any other suggestions would be great.

        The scrolling attribute on an iframe can be either - "no", "yes" or "auto". You have "no" in your code and you want it automatic if i can decipher your post. Can you not change it to "auto" to get what you want?

            The direct link to the creeper site shows this at the bottom...

            The IFrame size and "frameheight" variable should match so the text re-scrolls from the bottom of this window

                Perhaps creepersbsp have added some code to their pages that's messing you up. Try replacing the creepersbsp URL to point to a simple page for a quick test.

                      Now I see what you're talking about. When you say scrolling, you don't mean using the right hand scrollbar, but some JavaScript that animates the frame. You don't have control over that JavaScript as it's supplied with the feed.

                      Lets see if it's some interaction with Actinic or not. Try making a test page (not an Actinic page) that incorporates this iframe. Upload said page manually or via Advanced / Additional files. See if that works. If so, we've an Actinic compatibility problem. If not you should contact the feed's webmaster.

                        i created a test site at www.creepersbsp.co.uk/TESTTEST.html and it did work but im wondering whether that was because the news_win.htm file was uploaded onto the same server whereas on the other its remote. Though ive discovered it will work in actinic if i give the source page a local directory. If i try and give it a location such as just "news_win.htm" it cant find thepage (Ive had this problem before). To get around this ive uploaded the news_win.htm file onto a seperate server and then it appears but no scrolling.
                        Thanks for all your help so far.
                        Any more suggestion?
