UPDATE! Version 1.01 released Minor fixes include: DHTML NEWS TICKER FOR WEBDNA version 1.0 Information: Instructions: Access the admin area by going to admin.html. A preview of the News Ticker as it currently is set will be shown at the top. The first page of the admin area is used to modify the look of the ticker itself, color, size, font, and style of ticker. The next screen of the admin area controls the News items themselves. From here you can select the title, the text of the news item, a link that the item should go to and a target for the link should you be using frames. As noted, a list of the files that will be needed to run the ticker on the site are provided in summary at the end of the administration session. Note: There is an option on the 2nd page of the admin area (where the news items and links are added) to append a cart tag to the link: ?cart=[cart]. This will prevent you from having to manually edit the links. You might need to explain to a client what that means exactly. I chose to do it this way instead of just placing it in the link itself for a couple of reasons. 1. It's too easy to forget to add it in something like this. 2. Clients will certainly forget to add it. 3. If a client see's ?cart=[cart] in the link already, they may tend to remove that, not knowing what it is. Known Bugs: 2. Transition effect "Wipe" causes a scripting error. Probably a copy/paste issue when copying the styles. I'll update it at a later time. Limitations: Comments/Questions?
