Floating bar with scrolling text?

[GamerBlake]

Hey, I'm just about to redesign my "wacky" satirical fan site, and I'm considering having a scrolling bar at the bottom of the screen ala a CNN news scroller or sum such.

I know I could do this with a table, but I'm actually trying to avoid using tables in the new design, and was wondering if there was some type of coding that would allow me to have a floating scrollbar at the bottom of the monitor like I've seen on other sites, or any other suggestions you might have.

I'd prefer one that sticks to the bottom of the page and doesn't jump around as you scroll up and down like I've seen some do, assuming that's possible.

Failing that, I'll just stick one in the menu bar :)

Any ideas?

(Oh, and I was unsure what type of coding this would require, so I'm placing it in the General category)

This is a 'ticker' and if you want it to be live I think it would have to be a java applet. You 'should' be able to get this where you want using css.

If you mean css style sheets, I'm also kind of trying to avoid them too.. ;)

No tables AND no CSS?? How are you laying things out?

[GamerBlake]

Well, I pretty much just work with notepad and cut & paste java scripts.

Yes, that is pretty limiting.. :P

Good luck, post it when it's done, I'd like to take a peek

So nothing else I can try using Javascript perhaps?..

Sorry, JavaScript I can't help with!
