HTML - Scrolling News Feed

How would I get a scrolling news bar in my webpage? I am extremely new, so please post code.

Thanks

Hi all,

Just signed up. I dabble occasionally with coding and would appreciate your help on a slight problem.

I'm thinking of putting in a scrolling ticker with links to files on site so this is what I've put in (link removed):

<marquee behavior="scroll" direction="left" bgcolor="#192025" onmouseover="this.stop()" onmouseout="this.start()" scrollamount="4"><a href="link">Text</a></marquee>

This is where my problem starts. The text is by default set to be black, therefore I can't see the text as the background colour is a shade of black. How do I change the text colour to white for this one bit?

That's the first problem, I then tried to manually change it by adding some codes like this, which is messy:

<marquee behavior="scroll" direction="left" bgcolor="#192025" onmouseover="this.stop()" onmouseout="this.start()" scrollamount="4"><a href="link"><font size="3" face="Yanone Kaffeesatz" color="white"> Text</a></font> </marquee>

It is now white text but the problem is that it appears in Times New Roman I think. I then tried deleting the face=Yanone Kaffeesatz strand but it does not work.

Thing is, with the first <marquee> example in my post, it defaults to the Yanone Kaffeesatz font with no mention of it (as that is what I use on my site), but it's in black. When I add the other string in the second example I get it in white but not in the font I want.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Can someone help me create a scrolling news ticker in HTML code?

I want to put rss feed into this scrolling ticker from an rss feed like yahoo news etc.

It would be greatly appreciated if someone can help or give me the code. Ill be glad to put your name in the code.


THanks.

I'm trying to set up a scrolling news ticker for my Internet radio station.

Specifications:
* Must be at least 35px high. Width is 100% of the page.
* Must be an scrolling ticker moving left and must be able to stop when scrolling over it.
* Must be real-time (and maybe will have a timestamp, if possible)
* Would like these RSS feeds to be integrated into this news ticker.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this. I want to be able to generate a RSS news feed from my website with latest news etc, but I really haven't a clue where to start. Would anyone of the experts on this forum be able to advise me of where to start and what is the best way to go about it?

I hope you can help.

Thanks

I am using this type of format for my rss feed:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>

<rss version="2.0">
<channel>

<title>Bestsellersworld.com</title>
<description>The latest book reviews for Bestsellersworld.com and Mysteries Galore</description>
<link>http://www.bestsellersworld.com</link>

<item>
<title>The 5th Horseman by James Patterson</title>
<link>http://www.bestsellersworld.com/reviews/patterson-the_5th_horseman.htm</link>
</item>

It works fine but I was wonder if there is a way I could add an image cover to the feed and if so how do I do it?

I am in the process of building a site and want to include a News section. However do most website do this manually or use sites like joomla, drupal, and such to do this? I would like something similar to HighTimes.com content articles with tags that connect everything together.

Can someone please tell me how this is done? Thank you.

Is there a plugin or anything that would allow me to setup specific sections of a website where certain users can update with news?

I hope I'm being clear, but this is what I want to do:

There's a news section of my page, and currently I'm working with people who don't know a lick of HTML. They want to be able to add news articles without having to go through me. Is there a service or plugin or anything that will allow this to happen?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi there,

Can anybody tell me where to get google news urls to put on my site?? Like the ones on this site.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Ok here's the low-down - I'm trying to find a better way to post news items on a large intranet - currently we have to post the same news on twenty different servers, which drives me barmy.

The big issues are we can only get client-side access (no asp, php etc) although on the upside all the users are IE6 - so in a way some things like data islands become available.

So I was thinking we could have a central xml file that we could update and each page would be set to show certain categories or something.

first of all is this possible at all?!

And if so - any help/pointers would be appreciated!

You'll see below where I've got to - so it's displaying the first news item dynamically so I guess there's two questions - one hopefully fairly easy and the second for a resident-genius type:

1) How can I get it to display the 'first five records' rather than just the first one - I know you can fudge it with tables, but I'm trying to keep it as proper as possible and I know tables aren't really the best for this sort of thing.

2) Is there any way I can add 'markers' to the xml file that are checked -
ie so the xml file could have items like:

<item>
<title> The title of this article</title>
<markers>
<political>Yes</political>
<sport>No</sport>
<technology>Yes</technology>
</markers>
<content>blah blah</content>
</item>

This'd then let me specify an article as both political and technology and thus on the political and technology pages it'd appear if it was one of the five most recent valid articles, but not on the sport pages.

Any ideas?!

Code below if it helps...

Hi:

I want to place a large block of scrollable text (i.e., a news letter for my clients to view) on a page.

The 'text' for this news letter 'page' will be taken from a database and will be planted in this scrollable block, and will have a text title and an author and a 'last edit date'.

Any first thoughts on how to set up the basic markup for this scrollable block of text please ??

Thank you !

Hi!
I am currently studying a Comp Sci degree in college. I want to create a few webpages and cut my teeth. I know basic html but would like to do something more advanced.

I want to add a widget or script of sorts to a webpage to allow news updates, adding pictures and text basically. I am not really sure what I am looking for and would just like to know what terms or terminology to search for. Would this come under the heading of Javascript, php, perl, widgets?

Any help is appreciated.

hey guys I am having problems with my website ---> www.triplestarnews.com/main

firefox and safari load the page fine but explorer messes up the window size of the leftmost table frame. Any ideas on why the page looks very different on explorer?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
