The scroller is supposed to stop so you can read the text. It does say so in the window ("mouseover stops scroll" ).

If you move the moue up, then you are enabling the natural flow of the text which is going up anyways. Don't understand the problem.

FYI, the scroller is standard html code (called "marqee" ).

i'm sorry i try to phrase it again

the scroller works in IE perfectly. for example, the text scrolls up and when my mouse is within the box, it stops. Its correct and it works.

When i move my mouse up inside the box, when using IE, it doesnt scroll. It still remains still.


however, when i use firefox, the scroller still moves up while my mouse moves up. (that is after i stopped it by moving my mouse within its boundary)

The scrolling is implemented using 'marqee' which is a html instruction. Now browsers all can do their own interpretation of what a 'marqee' would look like. There is really nothing we can do about it. There are many such differences between browsers, and all one can do is to work around them and make sure a page is rendered in a reasonable way.

Is it because you used MS Frontpage to code the site? :P

i have this same problem and it makes it so you cant really use that home page box cause the links are like running away from you when you go up to click one.
