Nice module!

I remember reading about that bug before, but I don't have the time to find out what happened. Is this with IE7 ? It might be an old bug that was fixed in the 5.1 release...
#2
This is in IE6 and FF.
If you come across it please send it my way!
#3
I am having the same problem. Also... only one vocabulary shows up in the Taxonomy Ticker settings.
#4
Here's more info.... running Drupal 4.7.6

Ticker is over on the right (grey box). Mouse over the box and it begins.
#5
any help on this? anybody?
under deadline, and really hoping to use this ticker for client site.
using drupal 4.7.6 on LAMP server. see URL above. it doesn't start
scrolling until you mouse over and then off again. ??
thanks.

I had a look at your site and the call might need to be manually modified to be like this :
<body onload="startTicker();">This shouldn't be necessary, but it seems that the auto-start stuff (if (isJsEnabled() && ... ) doesn't work for you. That would be a bug, but your site includes the misc/drupal.js file, so I can't see what's wrong...
#7
I can confirm I too experience this problem.
Firefox 2/Mac OS X
IE7/IE6/WIN XP
Got it working by manually adding body onload.
#8
where exactly do you put this line to manually start the ticker ?

In your theme's page.tpl.php. There is (hopefully!) already a tag .. you need to add the onload="startTicker();" part.
#10
Yes, it sure worked! Thanks a lot!
#11
Ok, one very weird problem occurs as a result of adding this line though. Now the ticker starts working automatically without mousing over, but all the collapsed menus in site stop working.....like say, you have search and advanced search (which is collapsed). The Advanced search link is not clickable anymore. Same happens with a number of other collapsed links.
#12
Oh yeah, not only do collapsed menus stop working, even nice menus don't work anymore. I don't know if its only me or others are having the same problem.....
