this will align it to the middle.
its cheating a bit though.

Code: [Select]

<p align="center"><object data="http://www.superpimper.com/generators/LED_Scroller/LED_Scroller.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="380" height="50">
  <param name="FlashVars" value="bt={Zenyatta Returning At Santa Anita March 13 It Appears} &amp;cl={red}" />
  <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
  <param name="quality" value="high" />
  <param name="bgcolor" value="000000" />
  <param name="name" value="blipsy-sign" />
</object></p>

[curlin]

   yes, that worked. Still some errors with that one but not as many so thank you. Don't know what happened with that code i posted above 

[Neša]

The code you posted wont pass validations but it will work in most browsers. I'll try and see if I can get it to pass validation with some tweaking.

[curlin]

    Thank You Kindly.

   I turned off the 4 custom scripts and tried IE8 again. There was still 1 error but IE was much more stable. The script below is the one causing the major issues and would appreciate it if you could look at it and see if it can be cleaned up.

   I'm using it in an html block. Is that right or should it be a php block? Thank You.

Code: [Select]

<div id=style="width: 100%;" overflow="visible">
         <div align="center"><div id="IDTVP_f682350bc0" class="idesktop_tv_player idtv_f682350bc0">iDesktop.tv</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.idesktop.tv/embed/f682350bc0/complete.js"></script></div>
      </div>

[butchas]

Not sure what you want but it should be more like this:

Put theis above </head>

Code: [Select]

<style type="text/css">
/*<![CDATA[*/
.curlin {width: 100%; overflow=auto;}
.IDTVP_f682350bc0 {}
/*]]>*/
</style>

In the body try the following:

Code: [Select]

<div class="curlin">
         <center><div class="IDTVP_f682350bc0">iDesktop.tv</center>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.idesktop.tv/embed/f682350bc0/complete.js"></script></div>
      </div>

Note:
1.  Only do ID once.  If unsure do class.
2.  Read this about overflow:  http://www.w3schools.com/css/pr_pos_overflow.asp

   Please talk to me like the newbie i am and not a coder 

  Using these in a custom html simple portal block.

[butchas]

Sorry man but i am geek city.   

Maybe you can review this link:  http://www.html4newbies.com/

[Neša]

Sorry Curlin I have started school again and didn't have time to look at the code. I should have some free time on the weekend.

    Update: IE has no errors now but had to compromise 

   1 error i learned was from the mod "highslide viewer" and have removed that mod. Second error removed when changing popout player to fixed player.
   Last issue is the LED scrolling ticker which i have disabled for now but would like to get working properly in IE if you can still help with the code. Works fine in the other browsers
   Problem is it doesn't show up in IE and causes the news fader to completely lockup.

   @butchas - strange issue with "you guessed it" IE8 and your mod. Changed hover color to blue from green and all browsers show blue except IE which still shows green 

    Thanks everyone. Here again is LED code in custom html block:

Code: [Select]

<p align="center"><object data="http://www.superpimper.com/generators/LED_Scroller/LED_Scroller.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="380" height="50">
  <param name="FlashVars" value="bt={ Zenyatta Returning At Santa Anita March 13 It Appears / Oaklawn Park Putting Up 5 Million To Try And Lure The Queens To Face Each Other / Quality Road Romps By12 Lengths } &cl={red}" />
  <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
  <param name="quality" value="high" />
  <param name="bgcolor" value="000000" />
  <param name="name" value="blipsy-sign" />
</object></p>

I guess you will need to make the same changes in the "boardhover-ie.css" file.
 

[curlin]

    That's what "ie" meant. Man do i feel stupid 

  Works and Thanks. LED scrolling code has been fixed by a helper over at SP. IE now works fine. For Now 

[bigguy]
