Hello,

I have this script on my page. I am having a hard time getting a small image to work in it. Like a pumkin for Halloween or a Santa image for Christmas to properly scroll after the name of the holiday.(desription)

<marquee scrolldelay="110" width="210" height="10">
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

var date = new Date("October 31 2003");
var description = "Halloween!"; <---*This is where I tried <img src="" width="" height="">---!>
var now = new Date();
var diff = date.getTime() - now.getTime();
var days = Math.floor(diff / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
document.write("<center><h3>")
if (days > 1) {
document.write(days+1 + " days 'til " + description);
}
else if (days == 1) {
document.write("Only 2 days 'til " + description);
}
else if (days == 0) {
document.write("Tomorrow is " + description + "!");
}
else {
document.write("Happy " + description + "!");
}
document.write("</h3></center>");
// End -->
</script></marquee>

I wonder if I can also use standard image size tags in the img src code so I don't have to create a specific sized image for it.

Also do you know, if I can get the image to work, how I can get the image not to show up as a square, and more like the outline of the character in the image? Will Transparency work in a gif editor?

Any suggestions? I am very new to Java Script Please Help.

var description = 'Halloween! <img src="" width="" height="">';

standard image size tags ?? explain

Use transparancy for the areas of your image you do not want to see.

<marquee> only works in Internet explorer!

Thanks for responding. I'll elaborate:

"standard image size tags ?? explain": See red below

var description = 'Halloween! <img src="images/mypic.gif" width="20" height="20">'; Did not work.

I tried that and every combination thereof I could think of, anything I do there simply ceases the script from functioning.

I read I may need to put a reference in the <body> such as:

<a href="index.html" name="pic1"> <img src="images/mypic.gif" name="pic1" width="100" height="25" border="0"></a>

then add:

If (document.images)
{
pic1.src="images/mypic.gif";
}
or something like that

and:

var description = '"Halloween!" + pic1';

to the script, but that didn't work either.

Totally confused and frustrated with red hair...less and less as I pull it out

P.S. I am aware of the NS issue, working to change from <marquee> to another script for xbrows compat. First things first!

Any help greatly appreciated!
