Scrolling Headline Animation

[letsgetsilly]

I've got a webpage that pulls headlines (just text,not hyperlinks) from an XML file. My manager would like these headlines to scroll on their own so that we may incorporate additional headlines. This means no scroll bar on the right side, but an auto-scroll.

My current design has the headlines displayed within a <div> layer.

Are there any methods out there that are well suited for this?

Thanks for any suggestions and/or links to tutorials!

Remember <marquee>? It's not a good idea to animate text because it gets real annoying and hard to read.. but since it's something the bossman wants (eh), I suggest that you still give users the ability to scroll it manually.

You'll need JavaScript to do this, using setTimeOut() to call a function that changes the y-position of the content.

Read this too. Show it to your boss.

Thanks for the heads up.

That link doesn't work
