Wow man, wherever you got that code from looks like it was written in 1993. There are so many weird things and possible errors, that I wouldn't even know where to begin.

I really can't even tell what you're trying to achieve, but I'd recommend looking for something in the jQuery realm. There's probably a prewritten jQuery extension that does exactly what you want. Or if you explain what you want, I'll point you in the direction.

Yeah I’m trying to get it working for uncle and a bunch of Vietnam vet buddies. There not really those type of people pay close attention to W3C compliance, LOL. I've been looking at rewriting the page but with a more modern script.

But I can't figure out how to git it to rezise and disapear at a certin point.

var speed=15; // scroll speed (bigger = faster)
var dR=false; // reverse direction

window.onload = addScrollers; 

Any ideas?

That's still some real weird code.

What do you want it to do? Do you just want to text to scroll up all the way, and that's it? Or do you want it to reverse direction like that script it trying to do?

just kind of like recreate there original site:

Where there is the "for those that gave there lives" and then above the names scroll up and then there kind of disappear like they are going behind something, now hes not increasingly picky so I'm sure if it just when up and went right off the screen that would work fine as well but what what I've been able to do with the ripped JS code where you can see it coming and then isn't really working out.

Thx for the help taco
