Making 2 scripts work on the same page...

[vcCharlie]

Ok, I read the tutorial and I understand what the problem is, but I can't seem to remedy it. I think the easiest way for someone to help me is if I just paste the code and someone could repaste it corrected. Here it is:

Script 1

<script language="javascript">
/*******************************************
Vertical Scroller (Marquee Replacement) v-1.3
Brian Gosselin - http://scriptasylum.com

Version notes:
V-1.0: Initial release.
V-1.1: Fixed bug in NS6 where page shrinks and grows as
content scrolls. You no longer have to specify
content height, the script does this for you.
V-1.2: Fixed a bug in NS4 where scrolling content would
dictate the bottom boundary of box script.
V-1.3: Added selectable support for pausing the scrolling
when box moused-over.
*******************************************/

var content='text goes here ';

var boxheight=185; // BACKGROUND BOX HEIGHT IN PIXELS.
var boxwidth=250; // BACKGROUND BOX WIDTH IN PIXELS.

var speed=50; // SPEED OF SCROLL IN MILLISECONDS (1 SECOND=1000 MILLISECONDS)..
var pixelstep=1; // PIXELS "STEPS" PER REPITITION.
var godown=false; // TOP TO BOTTOM=TRUE , BOTTOM TO TOP=FALSE

There is an onload conflict. There are many threads regarding that. Checkout my sig.

[vcCharlie]

I have checked your sig out and read the other threads and many are similar to mine.... although, it still isn't all that clear. If someone could show me exactly what it should look like, or show me a thread that has the before and after, I would really appreciate it..

The biggest problem that I have is knowing which window.onload lines to delete and where the resolution line is supposed to go.. Is the resolution line supposed to replace the window.onload lines?

[glenngv]

You should combine your onloads.

Name your onload functions by changing the 2 onload function declarations:

window.onload=function(){

into named functions:

function doLoad1(){

and

function doLoad2(){


and then setting new onload handler like:

window.onload=function(){doLoad1();doLoad2()};

[vcCharlie]

Where does the new onload handler go? Above the first script?

[glenngv]

You can put it anywhere outside any function. But it's good to put it below your scripts.

[vcCharlie]

Glenn, I can't thank you enough!! Sorry for being difficult... I got it to work finally!! THANK YOU!!

One more quick question, If I was to add another, I would just name it doLoad 3? and so on, as long as I also add it to the onload handler.

[glenngv]

Glad I could be of help

Yes. But you can name it with descriptive names too.
