//Specify font size for scoller
var ts_fontsize="16px"

//--Don't edit below this line

var longestmessage=1
for (i=2;i<line.length;i++){
if (line[i].length>line[longestmessage].length)
longestmessage=i
}

//Auto set scroller width
var tscroller_width=line[longestmessage].length

lines=line.length-1 //--Number of lines

//if IE 4+ or NS6
if (document.all||document.getElementById){
document.write('<form name="bannerform">')
document.write('<input type="text" name="banner" size="'+tscroller_width+'"')
document.write('  style="background-color: '+document.bgColor+'; color: '+document.body.text+'; font-family: verdana; font-size: '+ts_fontsize+'; font-weight:bold; border: medium none" onfocus="blur()">')

dude, you have comment tags around the whole thing <!-- ...... -->
I don't know if that might change anything by taking those out, but try it and see

no.. it bore no difference

do you have javascript off in your firefox browser??

actually its not working in ie as far as I can tell, not just firefox. it gives just this:

<input type="text" name="banner" size="43"

its working fine on my site in ie.. I have it implemented into an index page of integramod.. I've been doing a little testing.. seems to be a var in the php coding.. it works on its own in a html doc.. here it is here in action.. WORKS IN FIREFOX NOW
