Hey guys,
Great community. I'm new here and I hope my question want be too newbish.
I stumbled upon this website that offers tickers (www.feedostyle.com). I tried
to generate a vertical marquee thingy for my website, but i dont' like the way the ticker looks... but the stupid ticker is styled using inline styles so I'm having a hard time overriding it's look.

The code is..

<div class="feedostyle" id="marquee1058950873" style="position: relative;width: 200px; height: 350px;';overflow: hidden; border: 1px dashed #FF9463; padding: 2px; padding-left: 4px; font: normal normal 1em Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;text-align: left" ... >
<div id="wrapper1058950873" style="position: absolute; width: 98%;">
some text...
</div>
</div>

Is there a way to override the styles using the feedostyle class?
Has anyone ever used this service, or knows any similar free service with tickers that are more easily customizable?

Thanks a lot.

No, because the inline style will over-ride the external or on-page style. That's the way CSS works, the last defined is the one used.

Where's the problem with removing the inline style ??

What chrishirst said was there is a stlye on your div that is forcing it to look a certain way. CSS is read from the top down. It will read the external stylesheet first (if it's above the CSS you may or may not have in the head section) then it reads the inline styles. If there is something in the inline style that matches something in the head section or on the external stylesheet the latter two will be overidden by the inline style. So...

...width: 200px; height: 350px;...

If you remove or change the information here you will be able to change the width and height of the object.

...border: 1px dashed #FF9463;...

If you want to modify the border around the object you'll have to change it here.

Or, if you want, you can remove the inline style all together and put all you CSS code into a seperate file, or in the head section of your page.

Thanks a ton for the feedback guys.
I solved the problem by sending an email to the webmaster of feedostyle. He told me they changed the markup of their tickers so now the style declarations can be easily overridden. Props to them

Thanks again for the replies.
