[Javascript] Active element

[Dan Costea]

don't use the loop:

while(keepscrolling == "true") {
 parent.main.scrollBy(1,0);
 }

Use a function call instead: startScrolling ();
And this function can be defined like this:

function startScrolling ()
{
 parent.main.scrollBy(2,0);

 if ("true" == keepscrolling)
  setTimeout ("startScrolling ()", 30);
}

that should work.

Dan.
