ok dude i know what your saying but having a pic there is a little hard but i have a good script here so that you can sorta have a scrolling box.
Put this in a js file called "floatingscroller.js"
//EDIT THE VARIABLES BELOW:
// messages. Add as many messages as you like
var message=new Array()
message[0]="Hello Web freak! Still going strong?"
message[1]="Download 400 free funscripts from our scriptcenter!"
message[2]="Spice up your website with our crazy scripts!"
// links of the messages (you need to set up link for each message)
var messageurl=new Array()
messageurl[0]="http://www.google.com"
messageurl[1]="http://www.yahoo.com"
messageurl[2]="http://www.altavista.com"
// targets of the links (you need to set up a target for each message)
// accepted values are '_blank' or '_top' or '_parent' or '_self'
// or the name of your target-window (for instance 'main')
var messagetarget=new Array()
messagetarget[0]="_blank"
messagetarget[1]="_blank"
messagetarget[2]="_blank"
// color of the messages (you need to set up a color for each message)
var messagecolor= new Array()
messagecolor[0]="black"
messagecolor[1]="black"
messagecolor[2]="black"
// width of scroller (pixels)
var scrollerwidth=200
// height of scroller (pixels)
var scrollerheight=18
// speed 1: lower means faster
var pause=15
// speed 2: higher means faster
var step=2
// font-size of messages
var fntsize=8
// font-family of messages
var fntfamily="Arial"
