 * Hi,
 * we are trying to add a ticker to a dev-page – but for some reason the ticked 
   content does not fill the width of the container. It only shows in about one 
   third of the container. How can we make it fill the entire container?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fgetting-the-ticker-full-width%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Your ticker is contained within a table that has 2 table cells. It is filling
   the width of the table cell. I’m not sure how you are inserting the shortcode,
   if you’re using a page builder or some other way of adding it… So, I’m not sure
   where the table element is coming from. The 2nd table cell has class names of“
   dnt_function column-dnt_function”. But, the table and these classnames are not
   a part of the plugin, so they are being added elsewhere.
 * Somehow you need to get rid of the table element altogether and place the ticker
   directly into the text element that table is contained in… Or, get rid of the
   2nd table cell so the single cell can fill 100% of the site width.
 * Here’s a quick screencast to see what I’m talking about [https://www.loom.com/share/53c74d7fb40b4b008bcf948097259f18](https://www.loom.com/share/53c74d7fb40b4b008bcf948097259f18)

 * Hi,
 * I have no idea how the table snuck in there – and how i didn´t catch that… I´
   m sorry about that – deleted the table and it worked fine 🙂

 * Another question – is there a way to get a symbol in front of the tickers? I 
   tried with “:before” but it only shows at the top of the ticker. Im trying to
   get a symbol, like a red dot, in front of each ticker. Any tips on how to get
   that done?
