I have a few scrollers on different pages of a site.

The first page you click on that has a scroller usually works ok. But...anytime you click on another page and try to use the scroller on that page...it doesn't work. This is a real problem for me. Please help me.

shlomomusical.com/About_The_Show.php

That page has a scroller. Then click on theCreative Team link. You'll see what I mean. I bought the extension a while ago and found very little use for it until now.

Your scroller intialisation script call is in a strange place. Please initialise the scroller in the onLoad event for the BODY tag.

This bit:
<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>dmxFSG1(1,1,2,25,0,0,0,0,'Scroller_Lock',1,0,10,1);</font id=code></pre id=code>

should be on the onLoad event of the BODY tag, as in:
<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>&lt;body onload="....</font id=code></pre id=code>

I understand, but the scrollers are setup through my template. I did exactly what the tutorial said to do. Now how do I make the changes on my pages to reflect what you are telling me to do?

Thank you so much for your help...by the way.

I see now that you have a script error on your page. Some element that Scroller Genie needs is not present on your page.
That may well be the reason why the scroller doesn't function properly.

Please start from scratch again and follow the steps outlined at www.dmxzone.com/showDetail.asp?TypeId=7&NewsId=5198 to the letter.

I did do what the tutorial said to do. There must be a quicker and easier way to fix it without having to rebuild all of the pages?

Try this:
1) In Design View select the IMG that currently has the scroller initialisation call on its onLoad event.
2) From the Behaviors menu, bring up the Scroller Genie - Init dialog.
3) Review its options and click OK to close it again.
4) Test your page.
