How to get the scrolling content?

[ReportingAnalyst]

Hi,

If I were to the

http://www.tek-tips.com,

on the right hand side there is a box titled White Papers with different white papers scrolling automatically unless I click on a white paper and it stops. How can I do that? Any ideas?

I have a textarea which is dynamically populated from the DB and shows a list of employees. I would like to see the employees scrolling like that.

Any ideas how I can do that.

Thanks.

It's JavaScript. Look at the source code for this page.

There is no javascript function for that box with scrolling content. I found this link:

where you click on the up and down arrows and content scrolls. But any ideas how I do that without the need for the up and down arrows.

Thanks.

There IS a javascript function for the box with scrolling content.

Looking inside the one of the included js files even references the website that originally provided the script - which I will include here for you.

also easy to do in flash, with fake button to the back with stop(); function attached. not really sure about the DB thing
