[thelist] juddering dhtml

[Richard Bennett]

Hi,
The problem is, the moveBart() function calls itself recursively using the
setTimeouts, so once it starts, it will continue to be called every "n"
milliseconds.
In your mouse events you call it again, so after a while the same function
is running many times.

One solution, is to set the "lIncrement" variable outside the moveBart()
function, so it is globally accessible, like this:

    lIncrement = 1

    function moveBart() {.....

And then just set this variable's value in the mouse events, like this:

    <a onmouseover="lIncrement=0" onmouseout="lIncrement=1" href="#">....


That should do it.

Cheers,
Richard.

I'm trying to make a dhtml scroller which will pause onmouseover and restart
on mouseout. It's also got to work on NS4, IE and NS6.

and I've ended up with:
