can't figure out how to center scrollable menu!

[Maquis Leader]

I'm using the scrollable menu links code and it works great. Or at least it will once I put up the pages for the links to go to! But it's shoved to the left and I can't figure out how to get it centered!

Regular html code isn't working. Help!

here's the code, the only thing different on my site is the images and links.

<style>
body{
overflow-x:hidden;
overflow-y:scroll;
}
</style>

<script language="JavaScript1.2">

/*

//configure path for left and right arrows
var goleftimage='pointer2.gif'
var gorightimage='pointer.gif'
//configure menu width
var menuwidth=300
//configure scroll speed (1-10), where larger is faster
var scrollspeed=6
//specify menu content
var menucontents='<nobr><a href="http://www.dynamicdrive.com">Dynamic Drive</a> | <a href="http://wsabstract.com">Website Abstraction</a> | <a href="http://www.codearena.com">CodeArena.com</a> | <a href="http://www.builder.com">Builder.com</a> | <a href="http://freewarejava.com">Freewarejava.com</a></nobr>'

var actualwidth=''
var ns_scroll
function fillup(){
if (document.all){
test2.innerHTML=menucontents
actualwidth=test2.offsetWidth
}
else if (document.layers){
ns_scroll=document.ns_scrollmenu.document.ns_scrollmenu2
ns_scroll.document.write(menucontents)
ns_scroll.document.close()
actualwidth=ns_scroll.document.width
}
}
window.onload=fillup

function moveleft(){
if (document.all&&test2.style.pixelLeft>(menuwidth-actualwidth))
test2.style.pixelLeft-=scrollspeed
else if (document.layers&&ns_scroll.left>(menuwidth-actualwidth))
ns_scroll.left-=scrollspeed
lefttime=setTimeout("moveleft()",50)
}

function moveright(){
if (document.all&&test2.style.pixelLeft<0)
test2.style.pixelLeft+=scrollspeed
else if (document.layers&&ns_scroll.left<0)
ns_scroll.left+=scrollspeed
righttime=setTimeout("moveright()",50)
}

if (document.all||document.layers){
with (document){
write('<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">')
write('<td valign="middle"><a href=#" onMouseover="moveleft()" onMouseout="clearTimeout(lefttime)"><img src="'+goleftimage+'"border=0></a>&nbsp;</td>')
write('<td valign="top">')
if (document.all){
write('<span style="position:relative;width:'+menuwidth+';">')
write('<span style="position:absolute;width:'+menuwidth+';clip:rect(0 '+menuwidth+' auto 0)">')
write('<span id="test2" style="position:absolute;left:0;top:0">')
write('</span></span></span>')
}
else if (document.layers){
write('<ilayer width='+menuwidth+' name="ns_scrollmenu">')
write('<layer name="ns_scrollmenu2" left=0 top=0></layer></ilayer>')
}
write('</td>')
write('<td valign="middle">&nbsp;<a href="#" onMouseover="moveright()" onMouseout="clearTimeout(righttime)">')
write('<img src="'+gorightimage+'"border=0></a>')
write('</td></table>')
}
}
</script>

Next time, you can simply put in the link to the script's actual page instead of pasting your code. For example, http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...rollerlink.htm.

It would also be preferrable to have a link to YOUR web page so that we may see how/where you're wanting to place the script.

Based on what you've given, I have to following two options to suggest.

#1 -- put the script inbetween a <div align="center"> and </div>

#2 -- use a table (centered) ... center a middle cell, center the entire table, etc....whatever works for you.

Again, if you're unable to get one of these options to work for you, give us your web page URL so that we may assist you further.

Good luck.

Thanks! That did it. I had to figure out where to put the tags but luckily that silver box is only too happy to pop up and tell what line is screwed up.

I didn't put a url because I didn't have it on my page. At the time it was still under construction and it still is actually. I've uploaded it to a test page so you can see it, but only the link to Current Contest works so far.

Thanks again for your help!
