Vertical Scroll
For some bizarre reason, my affiliates module on my site will not stretch to accommodate the further content I have added to it, so as a work around, I've decided I need to use a vertical marquee.
I've done some research - and it seems that the tags won't work in this instance.
Is there any way to do it with Javascript/DHTML, without the need for any CSS?

Have you worked this out?
I just looked and can't see a problem, but am not sure exactly what you're trying to do.

Reading the first post on that site, I guess you already removed the problematic module?

I've moved the affiliates module temporarily - until I can figure out how to do a vertical scroll.
I don't want to use any CSS to do it - and the tags don't seem to be working. I'm not sure if there are any other ways to do it.
Jeeves: The affiliates module is meant to be up where the Donations are - but I've moved them until I can figure out how to solve this problem. I want to get a vertical scroll going for the buttons, so you can see all of them, in that small space.
Cheers.

You might still need css to do that, but if you just need a vertical scroll, you can add a property to the module to wrap it up and define a height and add an overflow property.
I still advise going the css route though, why are you avoiding css? You can actually set-up an independent css property just for a specific module and wont affect other modules on the site...

How would I add a property to the module that would wrap it up and define a height? I've never dealt this in depth with the modules before - I'm pretty new to Joomla itself.
I'm only avoiding CSS because I don't want to risk it clashing with the rest of the site, but if you can add CSS to just one module, that would be useful. The first option sounds easier, however.

Well you can always check the module area where it is displayed in, usually you can only select where it is positioned right?
There are two methods, and both are fairly not difficult if you are familiar with editing html.
The long way but works best is to actually edit the template code and insert your banner codes their using the module code. That means it is hard coded to the template but you can define however you want it to look like.
The other way is to insert your module box, take note of it's name on your module management area in the admin and then go access the module via ftp and edit the module properties their like width and height. This is much safer since you only edit that specific module without opening the template up...

Okay, I'll have a gander, and I'll see what I can do.
