Question? Smooth scroll marquee

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Oct 06.2003

Have tried both standard html marquee and other variations ie html goodies. Also tried javascript scroller. Question is why does the standard and javascript marquee work perfectly in a 300Mhz machine, but when I view the page in my 450Mhz machine it does not complete the scroll or starts gets half way then starts over again and barely gets the first text word displayed.
I checked the scripts over many times but still do not understand what the speed of the computers processor has to do with it. Any ideas??
This is what I have tried with just html and it works only in a slow computer.

<table border=0 width=”100%” height=”30″ cellpadding=5><tr bgcolor=”#FFFFFF” width=”30″><td colspan=100% ALIGN=”CENTER”><b><font face=”Arial Black” SIZE=+3 color=”#FF0000″><marquee> text text</b></font></marquee></td></tr></table>
<div align=”center”><b><font face=”Arial” size=+3><a HREF=”http://******/cgi-bin/home.cgi?4768″ TARGET=”_ Store”>VISIT the STORE</a></b></font></div>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<marquee bgcolor=”#FFFFFF” loop=”infinite” width=”100%” align=”middle”> <b><font face=”Arial Black” SIZE=+3 color=”#FF0000″>text text </b></font></marquee>
<br>

Any suggestions. I know it does not run in Netscape but that is not important. It is just the problem with the faster processor.

Thanks

@MacmanauthorOct 06.2003 — Seems that I overlooked the fact that I had a image rotator javascript on the same html page as the page that I added the marquee to. I observed the fact that the stops and starts of the marquee are exactly time to the image change. Now the question seems to be how do I make them coexist without this problem?

I discovered it by accident when I checked the same marquee on a page that didn't have the image rotator and check on both machines and found there was no problem.
