I need to put a horizontal scrolling ticking info bar underneath my header on my website. Is this diffficult to do based on the fact that i know a little html & css?

 

Cheers as always,

I've been researching this a bit further and it seems the <marquee> tag is a big no no. Can anyone point me in the right direction for this. I have googled alternatives but am worried that what im reading is out of date now.

I don't really like any moving things on web pages, it usually ends up looking a bit tacky or gives the impression of being an advert. Just my opinion though and hope you do it well

thanks for the reply guys. I dont particularly like them either but my mate thinks it would be a good idea for a bit of news to our site. Either way now i have looked into it im more interested in just how to do it. I clicked that link cibgraphics and copied the code into my editor but although it displayed the text it wasnt styled or ticking. Am i missing something?

 

Just to confirm - First i copied the markup into the area in my code where I wanted it to sit then I copied

$(function(){ $("ul#ticker01").liScroll(); }); 

in the head.

 

Is there anything else I should do? Thanks again I plan to learn javascript just as soon as I have progressed a little further with my css studies.

Thanks rallport I thought it was probably a dumb question.
