Client wants a marquee effect (I know...ewww...)

[Geezer D]

Haha. Hey. all.

This is what I made for him: http://www.selfdefensetrainingcentersofamerica.com/ but as you can see, it's pretty bad. I was trying to get the 2 images to pre-load, but Firefox shows them both before the marqueeing starts.
I'm not much of a "dynamic content" guy, so I'm kinda lost here.

Any ideas of how I can get the effect my client wants by using a script, and not Flash (I really hate Flash)?

Thanks in advance.

you could set them to hidden until just before you use them

.style.visibility='hidden'
then switch to 'visible' once you begin the marquee

Sorry, I should have revealed my cluelessness in coding, I'm just a copy and paster

What would the script be to make that happen?

Thanks

Hmm... no help there. I'm not looking for a mouseover event or an onclick event.
I just need the 2 images in the marquee to load in, then once they do, the marquee starts. No interaction from the user at all.

Is this the kind of code you are looking for? Automatic scrolling from left to right or vice versa.

<marquee  behavior="scroll" direction="right" scrollamount="4" onmouseover="this.scrollAmount=3" onmouseout="this.scrollAmount=4"> 
<a href="1.html">
<img src="image/1.jpg" width="120" height="130" /></a>
<a href="2.html">
<img src="image/2.jpg" width="120" height="130" /></a>
<a href="3.html">
<img src="image/3.jpg" width="120" height="130" /></a>
<a href="4.html">
<img src="image/4.jpg" width="120" height="130" /></a>
<a href="5.html">
<img src="image/5.jpg" width="120" height="130" /></a>
<a href="6.html">
<img src="image/6.jpg" width="120" height="130" /></a></marquee>

you asked for a way to not have the images show up before the scroll starts.
I showed you how to change visibility.

what are you looking for?
when you load your images(your preload function) you need to keep them hidden. After preload is over, you set the images to visible. It's not that complicated

make a function and use getelementById().style.visibility

Apparently TinyScript, you can code but not read. You keep giving me half an answer, so no answer from you is preferable, thanks.

Once more, with feeling... actually, **** it, I'll go to a better forum.
