DHTML Javascript Ticker



This is a JavaScript Ticker which ticks a number of messages like the one shown above. You can add more messages in the array ticker_msg. The URL for that message should be added to the array ticker_url.

Change the position of the ticker by changing the variables top_pos and left_pos. You can change the ticker speed by changing the value of the variable time_length. (Here it is 1000, which means that the ticker message will change every 1000 milliseconds, i.e every 1 second).

New in Version 1.3 : In this version the new additions are the "List All" and "Speed" buttons.

The "List All" button will list all the news items that appear in the ticker, together.

Using the "Speed" button you can change the speed of ticking. When you click on the "Speed" button 5 options will appear. When you click on any one of these, the ticker speed will change to that value.

I have been looking for something exactly like this for several days now. I have been trying to teach myself some coding, which teaching is yourself is a slow process. I would like to say thank you for offering this to just up and coming code writters such as myself.

Easy to resolve;

Simply replace lines 50 & 51 (the 2nd and 3rd 'document.write' lines with the following:
[quote]
document.write('<td align="right"><table class="tickerFX1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" onclick="'&"tickerFX_listAll('all_news_div'); hideLayer('change_speed_div')"&'" title="List All News"><tr><td align="middle">LIST ALL</td></tr></table></td>');
document.write('<td align="right"><table class="tickerFX2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" onclick="'&"tickerFX_changeSpeed('change_speed_div'); hideLayer('all_news_div')"&'" title="Change Ticker Speed"><tr><td align="middle">SPEED</td></tr></table></td>');
[/quote]

That should do the trick.
Javascript doesn't like quotation nesting.

Is there an easy way to not make this a absolute positioning? Once you set the positioning good for one resolution, it will be totally off for a different one. Can you use percentages or put the actual code in the spot that you want the ticker to appear so you don't have to use positioning at all?
