I got the Old Articles to scroll but the problem I am having is the "Old Articles" title also scrolls.

yeah. thanks!
its a litte bit offtopic, but i searched the last night a litte jquery text-scroller for another output but this one is very cool. many scrollers are use the same id or class. here is it perfekt for me. i can use it on every place of my RN.

I have made several attempts to get the block title outside of the scroller without success. I am hoping someone might have a suggestion that would make this work. You can see it on my site mentioned bove.

i have found a solution for you!

at 1st you must load the js script into your header. open the directory /includes/custom_files/ and make a file called custom_head.php. here can load your js- or css-files into your header before the body was started. now open this file and put this line into it:

Code:

notice:
for all others who read this thread. i use in my example the js-file from the authors page:

now you can search the right place for your scrolling div-containers. i have modify the block without tables and change it to div and spans. now can give the containers css ids or/and classes to change width and height in your theme.

css-code:

#scroller_containerX {overflow:auto; height:100px; width:168px; overflow-x:hidden; overflow-y:hidden;}

EDIT: i think... for myself... to much divs Smile

i tried a another modify of this block and changed to ul & li with one div.

at 1st, i added a new css-class into the css-file of my theme. (if you don't need clear:both; (no floating before), delete it.):

Code:

.oldarticleUL {clear:both; margin:0; padding:0; list-style:none;}

i have modified the complete block-file again and put my ul & li example in my first version.

EDIT: i think... i missed the topic name Smile

i tried a another way and added the topictext into this block and if it its active, you can set a char count. if you disable the topic title in the block-file, then you can see only the story title with a own char count seeting.

--- Edited to add "code" tags - Killing-Hours[/quote]

Thanks Killing-Hours --not unusual to forget things at my age --lol

neralex -- thanks for the help --I didn't use all of your changes, but modified mine using some of your changes.

I might point out I am using the same <script type="text/javascript" src="jscroller2-1.61.js"></script> I just shortened the name in my coding.

Your idea to (modify the block without tables and change it to div and spans. now can give the containers css ids or/and classes to change width and height in your theme.) is a good idea.
