People,

Can someone please take a look at this scrolling graphic & tell me what’s wrong with the script?:

http://mysite.verizon.net/vze3yjbu

I had wanted to add a graphic of a sound wave to my new site (created in Dreamweaver MX...which will be a resource site for digital musicians when complete); & to have it scroll across the page to resemble an audio track during playback in a computer-based digital audio workstation.

I created the graphic myself; & thought I had it configured properly with an appropriate java script to scroll correctly…but when I uploaded the site, the script caused it to scroll beautifully, allright…but the cursor on the page undergoes a rapid-fire toggling between the cursor arrow & the hourglass.

One java programmer tells me it’s because the cursor is switching between normal & busy…because the code is making a server call at the same rate the script causes it to scroll.

Another told me the problem can be fixed if the coding sets up the graphic to cache.

Can somebody help me out, here?...I’m not a programmer…but this page is almost there…almost working.

Thanks very much,

mark4man
