Anyone using any good freeware or have a solution for rotating through testimonials on your websites?

Dynamic Drive has loads of free scrollers.

Also Google "Javascript Web Scroller", works in XWD/XX5 using placeholders but it's not freeware.

looks great sledger, but it's not working on my site. www.printprodirect.net. Is there a size requirement on the box? Thanks in advance.

Can you attach your .web or .xar file?
I see nothing on your site.

**printpro** · 08 August 2009, 02:16 PM

Here's the home page.

Your page with the randomizer works fine for me.
Are you placing the testims.js in the root folder as explained in the file attached to my earlier post?

**printpro** · 08 August 2009, 03:36 PM

yes, just as displayed. hmmm.

Replacing my testims.js I created with yours, it works. Is there a length of text limit on this. My testimonials are longer and I'm assuming that's the reason they aren't working.

No idea about any length limit, but check your lines for mistakes.
Each entry must end with a semi-colon ;
Also, use a <br> to create a second line for a testimonial that needs to wrap.

Example testims.js content:

var quotes = new Array;
quotes.push("To wrap a line for a long quote use <br> to do so and make sure each quote line <br> ends with a semi-colon.");
document.write(quotes[(Math.floor(Math.random() * quotes.length))]);
