Manual image scroller - Urgent

[naveedjavaid]

Hello all,

Please see news.yahoo.com, there you can see in the mid of the page "Kevin Sites in the Hot Zone". I need this type of image scroller in my website. Can someone help me.

Thanks

This is probably a layer styled with "overflow:hidden", and a bunch of JavaScript code to move the contents around.

Did you "view source" on that page yet? Usually helps to figure things out...

Thanks for your reply.

I have seen the code and save the page as well. But the code is very complicated and after that I have also edited it but when I copy that code to my page it wont works.

Can you tell me from where I can get it other than yahoo.

Thanks again

Well, for starters it helps to understand what you are using.

Just do a simple proof of concept and go from there?

<div id="foo" style="height:10px;overflow:hidden;width:100px;">
    <div id="bar" style="position:absolute;top:0px;left:0px;">
    text text text text text texttext text texttext text texttext text texttext text texttext text text
    </div>
</div>

Then write up some JavaScript code to manipulate the "left" value - see document.getElementById('bar').style.left = x

This is just an idea, or a draft.
