Multiple Link Ticker

If you fancy a neat way of allowing your readers to link to a stream of updates

and here it is


this "News Ticker" script might be just the job.

And here's how it works: Copy all of this code into the <head> section of your page.

Now you need to copy all of this into the <body> section of your page, preferably into a table cell of fixed width

You'll see the "tickers[0]=" section in the text box above - that's where you insert your text and links. You might want to change the colours of the ticker, and maybe the font. Find the section:

#whatsnew a{color:730073;text-decoration:none}
#whatsnew, #temp {font-weight:bold; font-family:Arial}

in the head section (the first box) and change the colour hex assignment or the font family to suit yourself.

The only other job is to add "onLoad="begin()" to the <body> statement on your page so it looks like:

<body onLoad="begin()">

Tables

You should insert the body code (from the second text box) into a table cell, so you can control the width of the ticker - otherwise it will take up the full width of the page. View the source of this page to see how we've done it (right click, view source).

That's it - have fun.
