need help modifying/enhancing a marquee script

P2P
Hi

I am wondering if someone can help me here with the "perfect" marquee
vertical scrolling script I've found.

This marquee is great for me as it will call an external html page. This
allow me to design a html page and update just that page without having
to muck around on coding with the main page.

There is one thing I like to have this marquee script able to do for me.
I would like it able to pause with each heading when it reach the top or
bottom(depending on the direction option chose) of the marquee defined
widow.

Right now as it is, it will only pause with mouseover action.

Is there a way, without complicating this script too much, to add the
specified auto pause function that I am after?

I found another marquee script that does that but I must do the heading
contents in a text file with specified none html type of coding which is
not good for me as I want to show image and sound files beside
newsticker heading with url link.

Many thanks in advance for any of the help and input I will be receiving
soon from this helping group.

Regards..
Peace2Peace

The script is very specifically IE only. Most Dynamic Drive scripts are
crap, why would anyone want to contribute to them? If you want help,
ask Dynamic Drive.

The marquee element is a proprietary Microsoft invention, it is not part
of the W3C HTML 4 specification. There are examples in the archives of
sliding banners - generally they are disliked.
