Viewing Scrolling text widget

Scrolling text widget



User: Steve G. 7 years ago
I have the scrolling text widget from Roddy McKay, it works fine on my main site.

but it seems to get cropped at the start and at the end on my mobile site.

Is this something I'm doing wrong or is there a workaround I might try.

For the avoidance of doubt, it's fine if I view my mobile site on my desktop, the problem only occurs on my mobile. I've also put a white border around the scrolling text on my mobile site which doesn't seem to work properly.

Hi, Steve

Please try contacting EverWeb Codebox itself: http://everwebcodebox.com/info/everweb-info.html. The answer you can get there would be better.

OK, thanks, I've done that.

The scrolling text depends on having a container of a certain width and then setting the number of milliseconds for the text to transverse that width.

I think the problem is related to the fact that you have created the item at 480px which is the page content width.

When the scroller is viewed on a mobile phone in portrait mode, the screen width is quite a bit less than this so the scroller is squeezed down in width to fit so the beginning of the text is chopped off when the script is initialised.

It may work better if the text is set to appear from the right of the container on page load rather starting at the left side. I will try to find some space in my head to think about that!

I have emailed you a copy of a new - and hopefully improved - widget. Here's the DEMO.
