Hey guys, I'm working at using the zscroller from znippets.com. I really like it. Great job on it. I was wondering how I could resize it so that it's about 100/100. I want to use it as a center window where all textual information is presented on MouseOver and MouseOut functions. How would I do that? is it possible? easy?
Thanks for the help guys.
If I'm becoming a pain, let me konw. I'll shut up, maybe

Open Zsetup.js in your favorite text editor and modify all variables that are related to scroller dimensions...

cool I got it so it doesn't fill the screen and so it's the size I want, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to keep it centered all the time with the other objects around it. I tried putting it into a table that's centered, but it doesn't work
hmmmm

Ensabunar: Welcome. Without seeing the actual page I can't really comment as it could be other elements throwing things out but here are CSS-only examples of page centring which might prove useful (don't work in NS4.x)

Hey Ensabanur! How's it going? I'll see if I can help. First, which one are you using, ZscrollBar or ZscrollBar2? ZcrollBar2 is easiest to change this way, here's how it'd be done.

In the Zsetup.js file, (which is quite short) you'll find a couple of lines for defining "safeTop" and safeLeft", those are easy, the top and left corner where the scrollbar unit will appear, text included. The next two lines are functions that return the "safeRight" and "safeBottom" values. Just comment out the function and add in something like "return 240;" or some other fixed number, then it will draw the box out to that point, and no further. Try it out. If by chance you're using the older script, you'll have two wait till I'm back at my own computer, I'll try and explain from there.

Your pal, -doc-

doc, thanks for respnding. I saw that lastnight and I tried to do that but nothing happened. Here's the source for the page.

________________________________

the numbers in the tables are simply so I know where they are. IT's just easier for me to organize the page that way. The window pops up at the top of he page. I want it in the middle over the picture "autodemo3icon.gif". it's already always centered, which is cool I'm assuming it's from the safeLeft and safeTop values. I don't know what to do. IT would sure be cool to figure it out.
Any thoughts?

oh, I'm using the newest version of the code so I guess that's zscrollbar2.

OK; I think I see what might be the problem. We have these two <div>'s, <div id="divCont"> and <div id="floatContent">. The outside one (divCont) should be the "outline" of where your content is going, the <table> layouts are redundant. Placing the <div>s inside of the tables is bound to muck things up also, I'm certain. The <div> is intended to "float" ofver the other content on the page, and it's placement on the page is specified by the CSS stylesheet and the Javascript code.

I almost promise this is my last questions about this. I got it centered. However, I can't figure out how to make buttons from other aspects of the page link to the window? do I just use the div id cause I tried that and it didn't work.
