I am currently building a website for an online radio station. What i need is a scrolling marquee that can load its text from a text file on my website. The marquee is used to inform users of the artist, songtitle, etc. of the currently playing song. The radio station is setup to transfer a text file to the website containing the current song info at the start of each song. Therefore i need a dynamic marquee that reloads its text from the textfile every 2 minutes or so. I have managed to accomplish this using HTML and auto-refresh, the problem is that the whole page refreshes and flashes white, very unsightly!

Could anyone provide me with code or a link to some code which could achieve this?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Use an iframe to display the marquee,and you can independantly reload it.
