Scrolling RSS Feed?

[ETMarketing]

Hi there,

I'm not sure of the right term but I wondered if there is a way of having a scrolling RSS feed on my site? Like a marquee but consisting of a news feed?

Not sure if I am making much sense but if anyone can point me in the right direction please let me know

Thanks

Hiya,

A true scrolling RSS feed would be quite complicated to write, but a simple bit of JavaScript to scroll a long text string would be pretty simple. When the HTML page loads the back end could load the JavaScript with half a dozen of the latest stories that the scroller then plays back. You could have problems with news being repeated when the page reloads, but it's worth a try :)

I would start by checking the news sites as I'm sure Microsoft or the BBC used to have something like this on their site last year (but couldn't find it just then).

Chat soon.
