AC News Ticker

[paulcalloway]

You may have noticed the scrolling marquee near the top of the page with AC News Headlines.

I'm not sure if thats the place to actually put that yet, let me know what you think.

Incidentally, if you want AC News Headlines on your own website all you have to do is add this little snippet of code:

<_script src="http://www.authentic-campaigner.com/forum/news/newsmarquee.txt">

Paul,

I gave it a try on my site and it didn't work.

Re: AC News Ticker

Jim -
You said it didn't work... can you be more specific? Did you get an error or anything?

Re: AC News Ticker

I pasted the code into my website and when I load the site all that showed on the openning page was the code, no ticker.

Thanks

Jim

Re: AC News Ticker

Jim - can you post it back on your site for me and let me look at what its doing? I suspect it's because you're using FrontPage to create your site. That can be a messy program when it comes to inserting code.

Re: AC News Ticker

I will that change up in just a couple of minutes. It is just above the table of contents.

Thanks

Re: AC News Ticker

Jim - Looked at your page and then looked at your code. The problem is FrontPage... its taken that little code snippet I gave you and reconstituted it into something entirely different.

If there's a way to paste that code into FrontPage and publish it without FrontPage trying to change it around, then it might still work. Short of that, I'm afraid for FrontPage publishers, this code may not run on your sites.

Re: AC News Ticker

Paul,

Thanks, I have tried inserting the script in the page several ways and none have worked. If you find a way to do this in FrontPage please let me know.

Jim,
I have used frontpage to create the WIG website and have a scrolling marque on it. It has not given me any problems. I can send you the code when I get back to my computer next week.

Tripp,

Thanks much. I appreciate the help with this.

Re: AC News Ticker

The news ticker is great, I just wish it didn't scroll the forum page. I think it would be better if it was only on the home page.

Re: AC News Ticker

I was thinking it was a little much on the forum as well. I moved it to appear on just the homepage to try that out a bit. We'll find a nice spot for it eventually.

Re: AC News Ticker

I think it's a nice touch to the website Paul.

Having it on the home page seems like a good place for it, like stated before.
