Weird page rendering probs...any ideas?

I made a little ticker control from the Comonent Art library ticker.
I can upload an xml file and change the ticker when ever I want.
BUT, it seems to resize the page when one of the longer texts displays.
It's driving me crazy, I can't seem to figure out why. The control is wrapped in a custom conlib control.
If you look at it, you'll see what I mean....just let the scroll run trhough the 4 or 5 lines I have in there.
Any Ideas on how to locj it into a set size would be appreciated....

Thanks for checking it out. I maybe should be a little more clear.
The page itself is not really resizing, but the content is slightly. For some reason it's more obvious on some machines than others. Basically you see the header portion expand and contract slightly.

I'm new to .NET and CSS ... been in the Java application development camp for a while now, but I would imagine this is a CSS issue. It's probably due to a div that links to a style that is not an absolute size. Therefore, when more text is added, the div resizes itself based on the content and that's why you see the movement.

I'd imagine that you could clear it up by editing the CSS, but that's just a guess.

Good Luck!

Seems fine in Firefox but not good in Safari

I am looking at it in Firefox on the Mac and it seems to display fine. On Safari however it doesn't scroll and only shows the first line of text. I might try and see if I could find a different scroller.
