If there is a space before the move tag it activates the scroll bars

(this happens on the released versions too, not just this site)

I am not getting any scroll bars... must be your browser.

That's not really a bug...

Basically, the <marquee> tag (the HTML tag used for the move feature) can have several attributes, or none at all. Because the "width" attribute isn't defined, the width of the "scrolling area" (invisible - background color is another attribute, but I won't go into that right now) is the width of the entire post box area, so if you're adding a space before it, you're adding an additional space to the width of the post, which makes it do that. The <marquee> tag is quite complex really, but you could always edit subs.php and add a couple of attributes so you could specify the width.

Well it is IE

Then it's for sure your browser. And, anyway, it doesn't matter because as I've said in the past, if you try to get me to do anything to the move tag I'll "accidently" remove it.

In that case... why don't you fix it?

Since it's not W3C approved (so as bad as <blink> in that respect), IMHO it really shouldn't be there!

Oldiesmann · April 13, 2004, 03:28:20 PM

Why isn't <marquee> W3C approved? I know it tends to annoy some folks, but it's a lot of fun to play with and has been around for years. I knew <blink> wasn't, but that can be improvised by setting the scrollamount of a marquee to some ridiculously high value...

I wouldn't miss it either

One of my users on my clan site likes to add the space to it and it's annoying

Stupid IE!!!

Owdy · April 13, 2004, 04:59:00 PM

I hate that feature, its annoying.

Where you need that, really?
