Hi,
I have a script which works in both IE but is sluggish in Firefox.
The script is a simple text scroller.
It works perfectly in IE however in Firefox, the text scroll slower and
eventually just stops.
I would aprechiate it someone could look at the code below and maybe
see where the problem is?
Thank you in advance,
Micky
