message scroller

[anneoctaaf]

Hi,

I want to make a message scroller. I knoe this can easily be done in javascript, but i want the scroller to get the messages/news from a database. Does someone know a script in ASP that does this?

Thanx!

It can't be done in ASP, but ASP could write the javascript code and data on to the page from a db.

Ok, thanx
Getting values out of a DB is not a problem, but how do i pass this to javascript. Can somebody give me a little example?

Thanx!

Just write the whole script code and variables onto the page

with response
.write "<script type='text/javascript'>" & vbCrLf
.write "lines of javascript code and variables go here"
.write "var varname = '"
.write DataFromDB
.write "';" & vbCrLf
' etc etc

.write "</script>" & vbCrLf
end with
