[Adam]

Hi

I have a script for a scrollbar that appears at the top of my webpage, I
want to be able to call the script from a central file so I can add the
scrollbar to all my pages and I will only have to edit the main file which
will change the text on all my pages Can anyone help???

this is script for the scrollbar

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
<marquee id="alertit"
style="position :absolute;left: 0px;top:0;backg round-color:"
onMouseover="th is.scrollAmount =1"
onMouseout="thi s.scrollAmount= speed"></marquee>
<script type="text/javascript">



var themsg='<span style="font: 22px
Arial;color:#FF CC66;"><b>Messa ges::::::::::: </b></span>'
var speed=4 //speed of scroller (1-10 or more)
var loops=4 //specify number of times message scrolls across screen (an
integer or "infinite")

function populatescrolle r(){
var windowwidth=iec ompattest().cli entWidth
document.getEle mentById("alert it").innerHTML= themsg
document.getEle mentById("alert it").style.widt h=windowwidth
document.getEle mentById("alert it").scrollAmou nt=speed
document.getEle mentById("alert it").scrollDela y=20
document.getEle mentById("alert it").loop=loo ps
document.getEle mentById("alert it").onfinish=f unction(){
document.getEle mentById("alert it").style.visi bility="hidden"
}
}

function iecompattest(){
return (document.compa tMode!="BackCom pat")? document.docume ntElement :
document.body
}

if (document.all && document.getEle mentById){

window.onresize =populatescroll er
}

</script>

Re: Javascript Scrollbar called from a js file

yes. Just put the code in a .js file and include it in the header

to convert the HTML into a js document (for example: myscrollthing.j s)
do the following:

- change the HTML code of the marquee into document.writel n

document.write( '<marquee id="alertit"
style="position :absolute;left: 0px;top:0;backg round-color:"
onMouseover="th is.scrollAmount =1"
onMouseout="thi s.scrollAmount= speed"></marquee>');

- remove the script tags.

- Now in each document you'll need to do the following at the location
you want the marquee to appear:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaS cript" SRC="myscrollth ing.js"></SCRIPT>

And that should do it
