Hi,

 

On a website I am creating, i want to use a similar effect to the one on www.ebuyer.com.

On their page, at the top they have 'latest news' and then it scrolls to the right printing one character at a time. I tried looking at their code to get an idea how to do it but it is such a mess I can't read it well at all.

 

Could anyone tell me how to do this?

 

Thanks for any help.

Here is the majority of the code which does this neat little trick from ebuyer, good luck!

 

<div class="newsHeadline">Latest News:</div><div id="newsholder" class="news">
<ul id="news">

<li>
<a href="http://www.ebuyer.com/news/ViewSonic-brings-out-VG28-LCD-range-1759.html">ViewSonic brings out VG28 LCD range</a>
</li>

<li>					
<a href="http://www.ebuyer.com/news/Gran-Turismo-5-offers-more-features-1758.html">Gran Turismo 5 offers more features</a>
</li>

<li>						
<a href="http://www.ebuyer.com/news/Toshiba-Satellite-A660-15T-has-a-fantastic-keyboard-1763.html">Toshiba Satellite A660-15T 'has a fantastic keyboard'</a>
</li>

<li>						
<a href="http://www.ebuyer.com/news/Panasonic-Viera-TX-L37G20-delivers-nice-pictures-and-solid-sound-1762.html">Panasonic Viera TX-L37G20 delivers 'nice pictures and solid sound'</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>

 

And they are then using this...

 

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://static.ebuyer.com/js/jquery.newsticker.js">

 

Give that a try, good luck

 

- I havent tried it myself yet.

ha, ha... i did and most of the solutions i found either didn't work or didn't work properly. Found a wordpress plugin that does exactly what I wanted in the end.

 

Thanks EpicWebs for your help.
