Hi,
it seems that when i do an automatic text scroll it only scrolls down a further 3 lines no matter what way i arrange the width of the text box or the table. Test

Can you publish a test page and post a link to it here? I'm not at all sure how you have implemented your auto-scroll -- but it seems it might be an an auto-scroll text box in a cell of a table.

Also, what browser are you using? Different browsers can give different results.

hi,
I have done a test page but now it will only scroll down 1 line. i am using mozilla but if i open it in internet explorer it doesn't show the scroll bar. As you can see what i have typed underneath is what it should show.
Test

You are using a non web-safe font. This means anyone viewing your page who does not have the "Lady Ice - Small Caps" font will see your text in the browser's default text. In my case, this is Times Roman so my scrolling results differ from yours.

In my FF browser, the top text (using a table) displays with a scrollbar, but the text is cut off. Looking at the text inside the HTML, I see that what is being displayed is all there is. The text does not match the bottom text scroll box. Also in FF, the bottom text (using a text scroll box) does not have scroll bars because using the default browser font, scroll bars are not needed; the text fits inside the text area with requiring scroll bars. In IE, both text boxes display without scroll bars due to the font substitution.

Try using a web-safe font (those are marked in the text editor font selection with a "WS" next to the font name), then republish your test page. Also make sure that your table cell contains the same text as the text object so you are comparing the same thing.

hi,
I have tried using web safe fonts but still no look. Its as if it will only convert the text that fits in the table only to html.

The only scroll box on your current test page is in the table and it is working as it is supposed to.

Hi,
Yeh it displays the scroll bar with about 5 lines of text. But it should display about 10 lines which are missing from the html when it gets published.

Hmmm, I don't even see the text box today on your test page.

If you want to retest, I suggest you put the text box on its own page -- and use a web-safe font so that we can see what you see

Hi,
Here is the page with just the scroll box.
I have wrote beside it what should be visible in the scroll box i have underline the missing text.
There is a link to the .ims file on the page if you edit the text in the table you will see that the text is there but disappears when its published.

Yay!!! All the good stuff that we need. One small problem though -- can you post a link for this new test page?

Forget that question. Found it -- it's your original test3 link.

It turns out there is a bug in SiteSpinner that is cutting off the text.

It is fixed already in SiteSpinner Pro, and is due to be fixed in the new release of SiteSpinner probably about a month away.

I don't see an easy workaround for now, other than not putting your auto-scroll box in a table.

Hi,
Yeh that's grand cheers. In the mean time I can add it in with a html editor.
thanks
