About the News Flash Scrollers
I have noticed on the forums and have been receiving some questions about the way the scroller loads and scrolls. Let me help to clear up these two common complaints. My investigation has found that they are out of my control.

Table warp: In Mozilla/Firefox browsers the scroller tends to warp the table just before the page loads. This is the way the scroller loads in Mozilla and I can't do anything about it.
Jumping text: On some pages the scroller tends to jump while scrolling. I'm not talking about the big jumps that happen from the text pushing on the side of the scroller and bouncing from bottom to top, but I'm talking about those little jumps that happen as the scroller slides within the scroll area. The best I can determine is this is caused by information overload.
I have found that this happens in almost all cases when you have a lot information on your page. The marquee tag is apparently bloated and doesn't handle scrolling very well, under these conditions. This is especially true when you have a lot of information or Java applets running on your page and is another thing that I have no control over.
If someone has a fix for any of these problems I'd like to hear from you.
