Hi,
Strange problem - the crolling news ticker is appearing in front of global nav dropdown for non admins. Could anyone give me any idea where this could be changed, or the problem arising from?
It's on a site I've been given to admin, and the designer had a look and changed something to do with layers, but it didnt resolve the issue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance, Laura

This is the code we've used for our javascript news ticker:





#pscroller1{
width: auto;
height: 160px;
border: 0px solid #9AC6FF;
padding: 5px;
background-color: white;
z-index:0;
}

img {
border: 0px solid #FFFFFF;
}




var pausecontent=new Array()
pausecontent[1]=''
pausecontent[2]=''
pausecontent[0]=''
pausecontent[3]=''




function pausescroller(content, divId, divClass, delay){
this.content=content //message array content
this.tickerid=divId //ID of ticker div to display information
this.delay=delay //Delay between msg change, in miliseconds.
this.mouseoverBol=0 //Boolean to indicate whether mouse is currently over scroller (and pause it if it is)
this.hiddendivpointer=1 //index of message array for hidden div
document.write('')
var scrollerinstance=this
if (window.addEventListener) //run onload in DOM2 browsers
window.addEventListener("load", function(){scrollerinstance.initialize()}, false)
else if (window.attachEvent) //run onload in IE5.5+
window.attachEvent("onload", function(){scrollerinstance.initialize()})
