I’m currently revisiting the Ticker Tape Action.
Controlling the content is easy, but I’ve tried all I can think of to widen
the resulting area on the HTML page. I’ve used dimensions and percentages,
but cannot get it any wider than 377px.
Any suggestions how I can take control of it.
Best wishes Peter

I have an example here: http://wim.studioindigo.be/ticker/
Just make a new style to control the ticker tape. Be sure you name it #divname input (replace divname with the name you gave the tickertape in the inspector palette).
In my example the ticker is 600 px wide. There is a border of 1px and 5px padding, so a total of 600px gives: 600 - (2x1 border) - (2x5 padding) = 588px width.

width.You clever thing maccie,
Now I’d like to extend this a little further, I’d like to include it in a
rollover. Have a look at the current page here:
http://spinjazz.com
The title block, is a rollover. The rolledover state has gig details, with
the normal state, the logo, and a sub header “Oxford’s premier Jazz club ”
I’d like to make the sub header a “Ticker Tape” item.
Can I get this to work?
Best wishes Peter

Hi guys,
I can’t get this to work…
http://freewaytalk.net/thread/view/40984#m_40990
I select the ticker tape box, and click on the #tickertape input (as I’ve named it) style and it says “this style can only be applied to text”
What have I done wrong?

If you created a style with
#tickertape
in the Tag field (and nothing at all in the Name field), then you don’t need to apply the style to anything in order for it to work. All you will need is to ensure that your ticker tape element has the exact name ‘tickertape’ in the Inspector.
Any style that has only a Tag name (and not a Name, or more correctly, a class) will be published automatically without being applied to anything.
Now if you put #tickertape in the Name field when you defined the style, that’s just going to be messy and unusable. Similarly, if you created a style with #tickertape in the Tag field but with some name in the Name field, then you would have to make sure that you added that class to your tickertape container to match the content of the Name field, or the style would not apply either.

You don’t have to apply this style to the tickertape, it will automatically style the tickertape when viewing in a browser via the css stylesheet. Just make sure that you give the tickertape a title in the inspector palette exactly the same name as in your stylesheet: tickertape as title = #tickertape in the stylesheet.

Sorry to raise this again, maccie was very helpful on the original thread, indeed so helpful i did not make a note of the instructions, and he’s taken his webpage down with them on. Can someone remind me of the steps?
I tried the KB but found nothing helpful.
