I've been searching the net hard for some javascript code that allows me to automatically scroll images non-stop horizontally on a webpage. After a long time searching, I finally came across something that was close enough. I then customised it as much as possible to make it do exactly what I wanted it to do.
This testing was done on a page without a DOCTYPE, so when I moved it over to a page that had a DOCTYPE, the javascript got messed up and refused to scroll. It just showed a single stationary image (on safari and firefox)
I've uploaded both webpages to my MobileMe site so you guys can have a look.
The page without a DOCTYPE: web.me.com/zubby
The page with a DOCTYPE: web.me.com/zubby/2.html
the javascript is also detailed below. I'll be extremely thankful if someone can help me out with this.
I only uploaded the relevant files so firebug will probably complain about non-existent functions.
var pic = new Array();
function banner(name, width, link){
this.name = name
this.width = width
this.link = link
};
pic[0] = new banner('images/cellarpics/cellarbynightsmall.jpg',203,'images/cellarpics/cellarbynightsmall.jpg');
