Does anyone know if there is a freeware/shareware piece of software that would allow me to put a ticker style information bar on a website (amateur) so that I can present a sort of dynamic latest news?

Thanks in a advance

ps I hope I'm not contravening any forum rules by asking this, if so then mods please remove.

Do you mean like a constantly scrolling thingy a la BBC News 24?

If so, most design packages have that feature built in. If it's not what you mean, I apologise for making you read this!

It may well be, but I'm using MS Front Page and can't find it. The thing I want is a small unbordered window that shows one or a series of messages continually scrolling along. I would want to be able to change the messages as and when I want and possibly use them as a hyperlink to another page/site.

If your using Frontpage its called a scrolling marquee (spelling?).....


Edit, I don't seem to have FP on this PC, so I googled to check the spelling and found this....

With FP it's something in the 'Insert' or 'Format' menu...

Insert -> Object - > Scroll Marquee

or something similar.

You could try a script from www.dynamicdrive.com and see if they have something which matches your needs?

Thanks guys for your help and assistance. I have plenty there to be looking at.

MF:ok:

A Google for 'javascript ticker tape' will keep you busy for hours:)
