Greetings, I was attempting to use the Double Status Bar js-sorce code here (http://javascript.internet.com/scrolls/double-status-bar-message.html) and found 2 errors.

The first is easily corrected by viewing the sorcecode of the page to find out that <BODY onLoad="timerONE=window.setTimeout('scrollit_r2()"> should be replaced w/<BODY onLoad="timerONE=window.setTimeout('scrollit_r2l(100)',500);">
Which leads me to the second error that I can't find. When running this modified version I now getRun time error Line 0 object expected which will not pass any info to my debugger.

Has anyone found out why this is so. The code works on the js sorce page but not on it's own. :confused:

:mad: Unfortunately the author (Bryan Pieterse)'s website is a childish maze of sloppy js code and a myriad of popup allerts to be avoided at all costs. :mad:

Thanks

After applying your fix, it works beautifully in IE 6.

I'm trying to reverse engineer my site to IE4+ and netscape4.5+ and on both I get that object error on line 0 (which there isn't a line 0)
the java site works in these browsers but not the code it's self
Revise (corrected code)
