Marquee & IE8 for scrolling images - Recommended Sites b

New Member Joined: Oct 31, 2005 Posts: 13

With the upgrade to IE8 I now have an issue with my Recommended Sites block

I'm useing the old YPN_Links block and I have spent some time trying to fix this and found that IE8 no longer supports the marquee function

Now I noticed that here on the RN site you have a Recommended Sites block that works can someone point me to the download of fix for this please!

Thank you

marquee is pretty much a dead attribute. You could use javascript or set IE8 to IE7 by a meta string like this

Code:

$metastring .= "\n".'<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />';

in includes/nukeSEOdh.php towards the bottom I believe. I have not tested it and it may need some changing like

Code:

]$metastring .= '<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />';

but that should make all IE8 default to IE7 and allow marquee.

Is this how the block on this site is done?

Do you have access to this?

I'm not sure what has been done here. I do not use marquee effect so this is actually new to me. I am sure someone has a better solution.

DOH_Angler, If you post the code to your block I will try to give you some help. If you do post it I need to know if you are using RavenNuke or something else and also what version of the two.

This is what I have

I have a long list of logos/links but no need to post all of them so I only included 3

Quote:

<?php

if( eregi( "block-YPN_slinks.php", $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])) {
Header("Location: index.php");
die();
}
global $prefix;
if ($themesidebox == 0) {

// USE BELOW FOR EDIT YOUR LINKS

$content .= "<center><a href=\"http://www.fishing.net\" target=\"_blank\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"images/YPN_slinks/fishingnet.gif\" alt=\"FISHING\"></a></center> ";

$content .= "<center><a href=\"http://www.bigfishtackle.com/forum\" target=\"_blank\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"images/YPN_slinks/bigfish.gif\" alt=\"Fishing Resource Center\"></a></center> ";

$content .= "<center><a href=\"http://www.nbaa-bass.com\" target=\"_blank\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"images/YPN_slinks/nbaa.gif\" alt=\"Fish the very best\"></a></center> ";
// END OF THE EDITING LINKS AREA

$content = "<marquee scrollamount=\"2\" direction=\"up\" onMouseOver=\"this.stop()\" onMouseOut=\"this.start()\" loop=\"true\">$content</marquee>";

}

?>

its the part

Quote:

$content = "<marquee scrollamount=\"2\" direction=\"up\" onMouseOver=\"this.stop()\" onMouseOut=\"this.start()\" loop=\"true\">$content</marquee>";

That is the issue

I found a buddy with a block that still work while using the marquee command

Script is different but hey it works!

You just need to edit it to fit your needs

Outstanding!
