Ok, I'm new to JavaScript and I'm taking a class for it the assignment in it I'm supposed to create edit a pre-made page to display a marquee that automatically scrolls for the user, as well as give an option to start, stop and reset the marquee.
Now I have most of this done already, what I'm having problems with is that when i start the marquee it moves to the right, but i need to have it move from the bottom, upwards. heres my code (I'm not expecting this to be done for me i just need someone to point out what I'm doing wrong.

Welcome to TSDN!
You will need to edit the moveIt function. Look at what the shiftIt function does. Use the correct parameters.
PS. how much of this have you done? I might have to remove some of this code if not all of this is the original code.

the code that I have done is all of the JS file and all of the code in the script tags in the html the rest is the original code that came with the assignment

I've removed the code that is not required to explain the problem.
This is to avoid copying. Read the guidelines on homework and coursework assignments.
Sorry about that must not have read that, anyways thinks for the help that salved that problem, now I’m having issues with stopping the method, I’m using this - function Stop() {
-
-
clearInterval(t1);
-
clearInterval(t2);
-
clearInterval(t3);
-
clearInterval(t4);
-
clearInterval(t5);
-
clearInterval(t6);
-
}
to clear the setInterval method in the marquee function but it keeps saying that t1,t2,…, is not defined is this because its not in this function even though its in the marquee function above it, were their all set to
var t1 = 130;
I think i might be doing it wrong but i havan't a clue, the other websites i use keep using window.clearInterval, but that dosen't seem to work the marquee needs to stop on a onClick command, in a form input
thanks for the help,
Praclarush
I figured it out, thank you for all your help,
sorry for any problems I gave you.

...to clear the setInterval method in the marquee function but it keeps saying that t1,t2,…, is not defined
In case anyone has the same problem, this is because these variables need to be declared globally outside the Marquee() function.
I figured it out, thank you for all your help,
sorry for any problems I gave you.
Praclarush
Glad to see that you managed to solve the problem yourself. No need to apologise for the 'problems'. There's only a problem if you expect someone else to do your homework for you.

Has anyone got this to work? I am still getting errors.
