How To Acquire Free Ticker Tape [ SITE MODIFIED MAY. 27, 2006 ]

Do not be alarmed by the complexity of the following instructions. Most of them are redundant and appear in case (a) links have become obsolete or (b) you are a neophyte and need to have things spelled out in minute detail to avoid confusion. Experienced scriptwriters will breeze through these instructions.

PLEASE NOTE: IE4+ OR NS4.XX IS IS REQUIRED TO VIEW THIS DEVICE (NOT COMPTABIBLE WITH NS6+)

STEP #1

Visit the website of Dynamic Drive.
Go to the page that contains the "Cross Browser marquee." As of this writing, June 30, 2001, the page in question may be accessed by clicking here.
- In case Dynamic Drive has changed the URL, go to the home page and look under "DHTML Script categories."
- Locate "Scrollers," and click on the link.
- Locate "Cross Browser marquee" (not "Cross Browser marquee II"), and click on the link.
- Read the "Terms of Use" appearing on the Dynamic Drive site (they are extremely friendly, and as of this writing, June 30, 2001, there is no fee).
To make the ticker tape work, all you have to do is copy the code and paste it into the body of your HTML script where you want the ticker tape to appear.
- Click on "Select All."
- Hit Ctrl+C.
- Go to the place where you wish to insert the ticker on your own web page.
- Hit Ctrl+V.
If you like what you see, use it.
- Delete the existing text and substitute your own.
- Delete the existing links and, if desired, substitute your own.
- If you are happy with Dynamic Drive's ticker, there is no necessity to use our code.

STEP #2 (Optional)

If you prefer the appearance of our ticker tape, SELECT the following code (various HTML tags and attributes). Right-click within the box and choose "Select All".

<TABLE width="50%" border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#333366"> <TR><TD height="19" bgcolor="#333333">
Right-click and choose "Copy".
Go to Dynamic Drive's code in your HTML document.
Paste our code just in front of their code.
Again, SELECT below.

</TR></TD></TABLE>
Right-click to copy.
Paste into your HTML document just after Dynamic Drive's code.
Set the first three variables (marqueewidth, marqueeheight, speed) to 400, 23 and 5 respectively.
Delete everything between single quotation marks after the phrase "var marqueecontents=".

Again, SELECT below (text plus HTML).

Right-click to copy.
Paste, in place of the code you just deleted.
Save your HTML document as a prototype from which you may create additional scrollers.
Save again under a new name and use as a working copy.
Examine our code, comparing it with the scroller on this site to see how various HTML tags and attributes, in combination with special characters, yield different textual effects.
Substitute your own text.
Congratulations! You've just created your own customized, clickable scroller.
