Horizontal Scroller

Could someone tell me the code for making a simple marquee like text scroller? Id like one similar to the one found here.. http://www.opencube.com/example_hmarquee.htm

Or..an even simpler one which is like the html function <marquee> would be great..I need it because <marquee> doesnt work in netscape.

Thanks

The example you posted is a java applet and you'll need to use Java to do that. I've only seen javascript that will run marquee-type messages in the status bar at the bottom of the browser window and/or in a text field.

Hmm...So i should try the java forum?

Here you go: http://phecht.com/javamarquee.htm

And after you compile the code into a file (called mymarquee.class), here's how to implement in your HTML:

<applet code="mymarquee.class" codebase="java" align="baseline" width="300" height="40">
<param name="font" value="Courier">
<param name="fps" value="40">
<param name="size" value="18">
<param name="string" value="For all your Java needs!">
<param name="style" value="PLAIN">
Your browser has Java turned off!
</applet>

When in doubt, use a search engine ;-)

If you're new to java and/or compiling, start here: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/index.html

Thankyou for the code Troutmask...

However, I found that horixontal scroller was one of the few applets the evaluation software from opencube.com allowes you to create.

I am very new to java...and want to stay that way...i'm not a big fan...just that a client requested a marquee like scroller which worked in both IE and NS.

Thanks for the link, I'll be sure to use it when im stuck on java problems
