News Ticker Javascript

Reference: http://www.mioplanet.com/rsc/newsticker_javascript.htm

Configuration

• Download the javascript from http://www.mioplanet.com/rsc/webticker_lib.zip.

• Unzip and upload only the webticker_lib.js to the Shared Components > Static Files of your application.

• Post the following codes in any HTML region.

<DIV ID="TICKER" STYLE="overflow:hidden; width:520px"  onmouseover="TICKER_PAUSED=true" onmouseout="TICKER_PAUSED=false">
    <span>10/10/2007 </span><a href="http://www.google.com">Google Search ...</a> 
    <span>10/10/2007 </span><a href="http://www.yahoo.com">Yahoo Search ...</a>
    <span>10/10/2007 </span><a href="http://www.apple.com">Apple ...</a>
</DIV>

<script type="text/javascript" src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#webticker_lib.js" language="javascript"></script>

• The DIV ID must be TICKER because that is being referred to in the Javascript. If you plan to change it, you have to do it in both places.

• Any text contents within the DIV tag will be displayed. Feel free to modify to suite your needs.

• The attributes of the ticker are in the JS script. The following are the default values.

TICKER_RIGHTTOLEFT = false;
TICKER_SPEED = 2;
TICKER_STYLE = "font-family:Arial; font-size:12px; color:#444444";
TICKER_PAUSED = false;
