I am using a free javascript code from Javascript.internet.com and cannot figure out to change the height of the newscroller.

The code is below. If someone could tell me how I can make the height smaller (250 pixels) I would be v appreciative.

It appears like you need to change this part (in bold):

var c = new scrollerObj('c','300','100','50','100','<h1>newssscroller<\/h1><p>This scroller code will allow you to put several newsboxes on your site.

Thank you. That did change the size of the newscroller. Unfortunately though it still increases the height of the column when I publish it. If you go to www.motorhomecentre.co.nz you will see what I mean. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
KAte

You have it set to 268 pixels, which is the exact height I get (I did a screen capture, to check...)
