    The following code works fine in ie but not netscape. netscape seems to have problems working out that the text has 'wrapped' and so it extends the table size even though it does not have to. Any ideas why?

    <html>
    <body>

    <table border=1><tr><td>
    <script language= "JavaScript ">
    <!-- Begin

    news=[ "bla bla But not when the page updates using the innerHTML ",
    "And why the flashing when using the center tag?<br><center>Most strange!</center>"]

    function newsBar (name) {
    this.addCharacter=addCharacter
    if (document.getElementById)
    this.compatible=1
    else if (document.all)
    this.compatible=2
    else {
    this.compatible=0
    return
    }
    //document.write( "<div id=\" "+name+ "parent\" style=\ "TOP:0px;LEFT:0px;HEIGHT:100px;WIDTH:200px;\ "><span id=\" "+name+ "\ "></span></div> ")
    document.write( "<div id=\" "+name+ "\" style=\ "TOP:0px;LEFT:0px;HEIGHT:100px;WIDTH:200px;\ "></div> ")
    this.name=name
    this.line=0
    this.position=0
    if (this.compatible==1)
    this.newsbar=document.getElementById(name)
    if (this.compatible==2)
    this.newsbar=document.all[name]
    }

    function addCharacter() {
    if (!this.compatible) return
    if (this.position<=news[this.line].length) {
    while (news[this.line].substr(this.position,1)== "< ")
    this.position+=news[this.line].substr(this.position).indexOf( "> ")+1
    text=news[this.line].substr(0,this.position++)+ "_ "
    timer=50
    } else {
    text=news[this.line]
    timer=2000
    this.line<news.length-1?this.line++:this.line=0
    this.position=0
    }
    this.newsbar.innerHTML=text
    setTimeout(this.name+ ".addCharacter() ",timer)
    }

    newsbar=new newsBar( "newsbar ")

    // End -->
    </script>
    </td>
    <td>This text moves and should not</td>
    </tr>
    </table>

    <script language= "JavaScript ">
    <!-- Begin
    newsbar.addCharacter()
    // End -->
    </script>

    </body>
    </html>
