Hope this is the right spot to ask this question. I am using Dreamweaver 8 and Front Page 2002

I have an existing website that I am making minor changes to. I've found a Java script that will allow a section of auto scrolling text. However, now when I load the page, and it works great. However, I am getting the yellow bar across the top if IE7 warning of an ActiveX control.

My questions is ... is there a better way to make this auto scrolling text work without setting off the IE warning? Another way to code it or another effect?

For the record, I am a tech by trade learning the web development side.

Thanks in advance

It might be helpful if you provided a link to the page, or your code so we can see what you're dealing with.

Here is the basic code that I found it on this site. It is only modified in the size of the scroll box and the text in the box.

I can't point you to the site as it is not uploaded yet.
