Re: ticker trouble

Hi Pam and David and everyone who is trying to help me with this.

Right. I forgot to mention it was a netscape problem. I can force it 
to start on either side of the page but not centered. I have changed 
the code around in several ways and it doesn't affect where it starts.

In IE is starts on the edge of the page scrolls to the other edge of 
the page and it doesn't change when I change the width of the table.

It is already in a table (on the Buick page--the other inside pages 
haven't been changed yet). I changed the width to make sure all 
widths are the same, and also changed the marquee width and that 
hasn't helped any.

This page validates ok for doctype 4.01 except for the layer/ilayer 
code in the ticker.

BTW, I managed to get it to do what I want on the main page with the 
ticker.js include right on the front page. However, on all the inside 
pages I want the ticker.js (which is smaller than the main page) to 
go into the logo2.txt (it has a smaller logo) and those goes into an 
include on every inside page. I'm wondering if this might be the 
problem?

Any other suggestions?

Thanks,

Lori
