Horizontal scrolling

[cmhrider]

Hello,

I have used the following code to retrieve data from a .txt file. Is there a way to display the data so that it scrolls horizontally?

<style type="text/css" media="screen"> 

.ticker {
	background-color:FFFFFF;
	font-family: Tahoma;
	font-size:10pt;
	color:red;
	border-width:0;
	border-style:solid;border-color:ff0000;
	
	
}
</style>


<script type="text/javascript" src="[URL unfurl="true"]http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>[/URL]

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="sagscroller.css" />

<script type="text/javascript">

//Note- Below example by JavaScriptKit.com

function tdcticker(){
tickerSet.MoveNext();
if (tickerSet.EOF) //if end of data's file
tickerSet.MoveFirst()
setTimeout("tdcticker()",9000); 
}

function init(){
tickerSet=ticker.recordset
tickerSet.moveFirst()
setTimeout("tdcticker()",9000)
}

</script>

<object id="ticker" classid="CLSID:333C7BC4-460F-11D0-BC04-0080C7055A83">
<param name="DataURL" value="tickerdata.txt">
<param name="UseHeader" value="TRUE">
<param name="FieldDelim" value="#">
</object>


<a href="" datasrc="#ticker" class="ticker" datafld="messageURL" style="width:260px; border:0px solid black;">
<span id="tickerDiv" datasrc="#ticker"  datafld="MESSAGES" ></span>
</a>


<script type="text/javascript">
if (document.all)
ticker.ondatasetcomplete=init
</script>

Thank you for your help!!!!

Yes. The way it is currently written the data within the .txt file appears and is then replaced with the second line. However I'd like to see how it looks scrolling right to left.
