[Pro] Ticker tape

Is there a way to remove the box surround the text? I think I once saw a simple way of doing this Action in pure HTML?

Thanks!

The box on your example page has the classname ‘tickeritem3’, so you could remove the border by adding this style to your page:

.tickeritem3 {
	border: none;
	font: 24px/24px normal Helvetica, sans-serif;
	color: #999;
	padding: 0;
	margin: 0;
}

Just tried adding after /Head - but not working? Do I need to add where?

Did you wrap it in tags?

When you copied from Freewaytalk, you got “curly quotes” instead of “typewriter quotes” for the type=“css”. That’s what’s making your CSS fail. Try typing the code directly, or copy and paste this:

<style type="text/css">
	.tickeritem3 {
		border: none;
		font: 24px/24px normal Helvetica, sans-serif;
		color: #999;
		padding: 0;
		margin: 0;
	}
</style>

See if that helps. Also, I notice I wrote type=“css” and it should be type=“text/css”, so that certainly is contributing to the problem.

Ahh no go again - you can’t change the width! and it can’t be ‘inline’ and it will end half way through the text if its too long -

Anyway thanks for you help - I found that the HTML marquee worked so I tried that, it was really good except in IE 8 where it disappeared!

Back to a list :wink:

Sure you can, just add width: 100% or some other valid value.

Its just a markup item then in that surrounding quote2div - not inline… if I put the HTML item inline then it disappears from all browsers if its absolute then it disappears from IE only…
