Modifying a Scroller Script

The script located there works almost perfect for my needs, I'm just wondering if there is any way it could be modified so that the text scrolls through a div layer or something transparent like that? Even using CSS to customize the textarea it just doesn't fit quite right as it is...

Thanks in advance!

I guess it's time for a contribution to the forum...

This might work, but it's a little modified. It's now called onLoad instead of after the function is defined. Main thing is, I stuck it in a paragraph tag and referenced its ID. I doubt it works in netscape, and would love to get someone else's input on that!

Good luck

I might wanna actually attach that code i just bragged about, huh? :)

Here it is...

that works great!

I made a few modifications, moved the script into an external file etc..
I also made the text come out in a div layer

<div id="news"></div>

This may make it work in NS, I haven't been able to check yet, its worth experimenting with though

thanks again!

Hey, if you happen to get that working in netscape, assuming it requires additional code for cross browser functionality, let me know, okay? Just post it!

Thanks in Advance.
