I want to design a program that involves scrolling but dont know java, i know a small portion of C, but have a hard time understanding how it all works together or even where to begin, all i want to know is if this is scolling code similar to the code found
hereany help in understanding this would be greatly appreciated.
code below...
CODE
// Build the scroller and place it on the page
function buildScroller()
{
if(isNS4){
scroller='<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="'+scrollerWidth+'" bgcolor="'+borderColour+'"><tr><td>'
scroller+='<table border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" width="100%" height="'+scrollerHeight+'" bgcolor="'+backColour+'"><tr><td align="center" nowrap><p>';
if(ns4URL.toLowerCase()!="none"){scroller+='<a href="'+ns4URL+'" class="rcScroller" target="'+ns4Target+'">'+ns4Text+'</a>';}
else{scroller+=ns4Text;}
scroller+='</p></td></tr></table></td></tr></table>'
}else{
scroller='<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width:'+scrollerWidth+';height:'+scrollerHeight+';border:'+borderWidth+'px solid '+borderColour+';background-color:'+backColour+'">';
scroller+='<tr valign="middle"><td><div id="div" style="';
if(orientation.toLowerCase()=="vertical"){scroller+='height:'+scrollerHeight+';';}
scroller+='width:'+scrollerWidth+'; position:relative; background-color:'+backColour+'; overflow:hidden">';
scroller+='<div id="div1" style="position:relative; left:0; z-index:1">';
scroller+='<table border="0" name="table" id="table"';
if(orientation.toLowerCase()=="vertical"){scroller+='style="width:'+scrollerWidth+'"';}
scroller+='><tr>';
y=0;
while (y<4)
{
for (x=0; x<(Article.length); x++)
{
if(orientation.toLowerCase()=="vertical"){scroller+='<tr>';}
scroller+='<td ';
if(orientation.toLowerCase()=="horizontal"){scroller+='nowrap';} if(stopScroll==1){scroller+=' onMouseOver="stopScroller();" onMouseOut="setWidth()"';}
scroller+='><p>';
if(Article[x][1].toLowerCase()!="none"){scroller+='<a class="rcScroller" href="'+Article[x][1]+'" target="'+Article[x][2]+'" >'+Article[x][0]+'<\/a>';
}else{scroller+=Article[x][0];}
scroller+='</p><\/td>';
if(orientation.toLowerCase()=="vertical"){scroller+='<\/tr>';}
if(scrollerDivider.toLowerCase() != "none"){scroller+='<td nowrap><p>'+scrollerDivider+'<\/p><\/td>';}
}
y++
}
scroller+='<\/tr><\/table><\/div><\/div><\/td><\/tr><\/table>';
}
document.writeln(scroller);
}
// Ensure the width of the scroller is divisible by 2. This allows smooth flowing of the scrolled content
function setWidth()
{
tableObj=(isIE)?document.all("table"):document.getElementById("table");
obj=(isIE)?document.all.div1:document.getElementById("div1");
objWidth=(orientation.toLowerCase()=="horizontal")?getOffset(tableObj,"width"):getOffset(tableObj,"height");
HalfWidth=Math.floor(objWidth/2);
newWidth = (HalfWidth*2)+2;
obj.style.width=newWidth
moveLayer(obj, newWidth);
}
