Does anybody know of a good link to a javascript news ticker which loads the content from an external text file.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards

JavaScript can not read text files. With JavaScript your only option is to set up an external JavaScript file with the variable(s) defined to hold the text you want to include in the ticker. Your other option would be to use Server Side languages such as Perl or PHP. Dynamic Drive has several excellent scripts that could be modified to have the text in an external javascript.

would you be interested in a java applet similar to this one?
