Affilate Table Questions

[BobDammit]

I am trying to modify the Affilate Table to fit my needs on my board. I have come across a couple of things I cant change and need some direction. this is what I have right now:
<table align="center" border="0" width="92%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" class="bordercolor">
<tr>
<td>
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td class="titlebg" align="center" colspan="3">
<font color="FFFFFF" size="2">
<b><center><font style="filter:glow(color=white, strength=2); height: 2;">Members Rides  ----  Click on Thumbnail For Full Size Pictures</font></center></b>
</font>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
</td>
<td width="60%" class="windowbg2" valign="top">

I am trying to marquee pictures of my members motorcycles, and seem to have it working with the exception of 2 things:

1) How do I close the gap between the last picture and the first?

2) Is there any way to "preload" the images (I'm afraid this can become a bandwidth killer)
Thanks!

I,m not a coder....but may I make a comment.
the pics in your affliate banner are large and take awhile to load....if you scale them down and save a smaller size of them and then link the small pic to the regular one they will load faster in your marquee. this was some thing I learned while putting together a web site and my pics took forever to load....I made a small pic and then linked it to the big one. Even though you have put in a width and height to make them small for the marquee they still load slow.....if you need me to scale them down for you jusk ask and I will be happy to do it for you

Crazy chic, thanks... I just found that out the hard way. I wiped out my bandwidth limit. Im fixing that now. Im still looking for a way to restart the marquee before the last image exits.

Close the gap? Do you make it a continueous stream of banners? I don't think you can. You could reverse the direction after a certian amount of time...

I recommend doing this too:

Remove this:

<font face="verdana" color="#000000">

<center>

Then replace this:

</center></font></marquee>

ok, Thanks Bradley... I changed those lines... cleaned up the script... resized the table and the images... its getting there. Thanks for the help!

[BobDammit]

Ok... Heres todays update. I now have 26 images in my marquee. I have changed it so it scrolls up now. What I want to do is have 13 images centered in the table, scroll up for 1 transparent image, then scroll up the next 13 images. That was they will stay evenly spaced out. What do I need to add to my code to break up the strings of images?

[Bradley]

A <br /> is a line break. You should set the width of the marquee to the total width of the images on the widest line.

If you didn't understand that or can't get it to work post the code you've got now.

D'OH!!! *smacks Head* figgures... I was trying </b> Thanks... Ill give that a try!

Edit: Thanks Bradley! I owe you a beer!

[Bradley]

No problem.
