News Ticker or Scroller

Post by nickman013 »

Hello,

I would like to have a news ticker or scroller type thing that scrolls text, but I would like it to get the text from another file that is on my computer or FTP server that is just a plain file with just the news so It is easy to add stuff and edit.

Thanks :D

You'll need to save it to disk.

I did come across that once before on Google. However that one is hard too, I am just looking for a simple script, that scrolls text from a source, only like a paragraph. Is there any HTML Marquee's that scrolls a source, or a website.

Thanks For Helping!

unfortunately, to make it simple to work with, often requires a LOT of complexity in the code, because things like dimensions of the scroll have to be calculated, the information must be captured and rendered..
