Hi there
using Dreamweaver MX version 6.1 and just purchased Scroller Genie for my company site www.webpro.co.uk (please note I'm not trying to sell anything this is a honest query! I had people moan at me before because of the content on the site.) Must of webpro is based on templates. I followed the tutorial called 'Scroller Genie in Template' by George Petrov. And everything sames fine! Please goto www.webpro.net.uk/test/template_pages/art_menu.html
this is the test site and the scoller genie features on this page and if u look at the drop down menu to the right u will see more links, these links have the scroller genie on them too. Now my problem is some of these pages work on Windows and some don't even though they all have the same structure? I can't get any of them to work on Mac. Also I've noticed that if u quit out of explorer and then go back in this sometimes makes it work? Anyway I would like them all working constantly over Win and Mac. Could anyone help me? Many thanks in advance.

I've looked at your pages and noticed the problem.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think this may have to do with the loading order of the page: when the 'scroller init' function call is triggered, the scroller itself has not loaded yet, and thus the init fails.

Try applying the 'scroller init' behavior to an IMG tag (possibly just a shim) that comes after the scroller code in your HTML source code.

BTW. I've tested the pages in several Mac browsers, and they run fine except for the problem that you see on PC as well.

Hi MarjaR,

Thanks for your help.

I'm not sure how to do what you have just suggested.

Please can u explain further.

Cheers Sarah

Since you have followed the steps explained at www.dmxzone.com/showDetail.asp?TypeId=7&NewsId=5198, the init behavior is now applied to the onLoad event of the first IMG tag in the scroller code itself.

In your page that looks like this:
<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>&lt;div id="dmx1Scroller"&gt; &lt;img src="../images/shim.gif" alt="" width="776" height="273" border="0" onload="dmxFSG1(1,1,2,25,0,0,0,0,'',0,0,0,1);MM_preloadImages('../Images/WP_scrolling_controls/WP24vscrllup_over.gif','../Images/WP_scrolling_controls/WP24vscrlldown_over.gif')"&gt;</font id=code></pre id=code>

To try and solve your issue, I think you should try adding a dummy image (a transparent GIF) at the bottom of your source code after the scroller code, just be fore the closing tag for the "scrollergeniebody" editable region, and move the function calls from the IMG tag where it is now to the new IMG tag for the dummy image.
