Hi,

Pretty new the JS.

I've tried activating the double status bar scroller on my (hp) apache webserver - butthis doesn't load.

I've placed the code within a single HTML page, within the <HEAD> section, and the loader within the BODY TAG.

However, this doesn't load

I know JS loads because I have managed to load another JS (displays when a page was accessed) and this works fine.

Any ideas?

Many thanx in advance.

Could be a few reasons, post your code!

Hi,

Thanks for showing an interest!

Here's the code, essentially just the script embedded into html.

I personally think there's a problem with the code as I have managed to get 2 other javascripts to work on my webserver in their simplest forms.

Many thanks again!
