Hi,

I have a database that generates an asp document with a couple of names.
Now those names have to scroll from the bottom of the page to the top. When all names are disappeared, they have to scroll back from the bottom.
Anyone an idea how to solve this? dhtml, javascript?
I can also use a txt file to store the names and read from there.

please, someone?
 
You mean this?

<marquee direction=&quot;up&quot; height=&quot;100%&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;>
The scrolling names go here...
</marquee> if(($question==&quot;has been bugging me&quot;
AND $answer==&quot;fixed the problem&quot;) OR $answer==&quot;really good post&quot;){
print(&quot;Star&quot;);
}else{
print(&quot;Thanks.&quot;);
}
 
Thnx man, I've been searching for something like this for some days... I've tried the most complex programming tools

... and there is the answer ... simple html tag ... :) :)


thank you very much!!!!
 
ristmo2001,

Your answer helped me alot. But offcourse I have another question...

My text scrolls over the screen, very good. But the text is variable (from database or txt file) and so needs to be refreshed every time.
One possibility is to work with this: <META HTTP-EQUIV=&quot;Refresh&quot; CONTENT=&quot;20;URL=scroll.asp&quot;>

But I was hoping there was a better solution...
Is there a way to refresh the page when the scrolling is done. So the public doens't notice that the page is refreshed.

In other words: Is there a way to refresh the scroll text, so there's always the newest text on the screen?

Anyone?
