Scrolling Message

DKL01 · Feb 5, 2002

Hi,

I need to develop a scrolling message similar to this:

http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex2/iframe-scroller.htm

But in my case the the messages should scroll from left to right. It should stop when we cursor moves over the text. I was wondering how to implement this. I really appreciate any suggestions.

THANKS

i have modified the file to do that :-
<html>
<body>

<div id="datacontainer" style="position:absolute;left:0;top:10;width:100%"

onMouseover="scrollspeed=0" onMouseout="scrollspeed=cache">
