adminabp,

There are 2 e's in "marquee". Did you type it as "marque" or "marquee" in your code change?

I didn't type it, I copy/pasted(to avoid typos like in my post).

I had originally had the change as:


<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
  $('marquee').insertBefore("#top-ad-banner');
});
</script>


That had worked in the console. I had changed it to what's in my previous post because my change didn't check for .length - which probably isn't needed, as there's a default text line if none are present in the UI, so the marquee should always have a length anyway.

Just tried that, no difference.

That sucks - it worked in the console.

I'll see what I can do on my end. I may have to give it a class again. Doing so, though, is going to make it so I have to rewrite some code. You may want to drop back to pre-2.0.0 version if you want to move it to the top for now.

That's cool. I appreciate the help.

Update:

I was able to get the marquee to run at the top of the page just now by editing the build of the plugin and changing the last line from


       $('#content').prepend(marquee);
to


       $('#top-ad-banner').prepend(marquee);
The problem is, without any CSS, the marquee is limited to the width of the top ad and tries to push the ad down below the banner.

adminabp,

Try changing this line:


var marquee = $('<marquee direction=\'left\' scrolldelay=\'' + msg_mqr_spd + '\' onmouseover=\'this.stop()\' onmouseout=\'this.start()\'>' + msg_mqr + '</marquee>');


to add CSS onto it, like this:


var marquee = $('<marquee direction=\'left\' scrolldelay=\'' + msg_mqr_spd + '\' onmouseover=\'this.stop()\' onmouseout=\'this.start()\'>' + msg_mqr + '</marquee>').css({'property':'value','property':'value'});


where 'property' is the CSS property and 'value' is it's value. Something like:


var marquee = $('<marquee direction=\'left\' scrolldelay=\'' + msg_mqr_spd + '\' onmouseover=\'this.stop()\' onmouseout=\'this.start()\'>' + msg_mqr + '</marquee>').css({'height':'25px','border':'3px solid #ff0000'});


I'm not sure if it'll work, so you may want to test a couple of your CSS properties first (so you don't waste time typing them all in if it doesn't work).

The CSS worked PERFECTLY!

Also, I managed to fix moving it to the top without limiting the width to the ad or pushing the ad behind the banner.

I changed:


$('#content').prepend(marquee);

in the plugin to


$(marquee).insertBefore('#top-ad-banner');

Just like I wanted it!

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!

EDIT: Slight problem, it doesn't stop on mouse hover...

2ND EDIT: Nevermind. Seems to be an issue with the browser I was using, I checked it with Firefox and it is stopping on hover just fine.

Thanks again!

adminabp,

From my understanding, Firefox has issues with that. Do you have the same issue (not stopping on hover) in another browser, like Chrome?

Thanks for posting back. I'll see about getting a class back in for next version, though - so people won't have to go through what you just had to do with the CSS.

This plugin is not designed with images in mind. You can try it if you want, but there's no guarantee that it'll work. This plugin was designed for strictly text and text links.

[Sassy]

In my forum, I'm using this marquee, which I love by the way ... but I was wondering ....

Where would I change the "link" colour from black to something else? I don't see a spot to change that.

Here's the link to my forum: sassys.proboards.com/

Thanking you in advance!

[Lynx]

Sorry, Sassy - I didn't get a notification from my bookmark on this thread.

Thank you for the compliment!

Currently, there is no way to change the link text color without going into the build. If you can wait a couple days, I'll get an option put in there to change the link text color. I'll post here when I upload the update to the library (but it may take a few days after that before it gets approved).
