How Do I Create a Scrolling Text Box For News Items On My Website?

's Computer Specifications

hey,

how do i create a scrolling text box within my current website table, which
i can type news headlines for people to read, and scroll through? but i don't
want a text box that people write in (like a comment box)... what i need is a
text box that i can create and edit using frontpage, and then publish it to
the web for people to read.

and also, it it possible to using HTML code, ie.

<STYLE type="text/css">

</STYLE>

on the text box, so that it has a certain look, that differs to the rest of
the website?

i don't know if this will make much sense, but hopefully you can get at what
i mean.
do you need to use javascript to achieve this?
in which case, what is a good website for me to learn how to create an
interactive javascript website?

thanks,

adam.

Look for scrolling marquee in FrontPage, Insert > Web Components > Dynamic Effects >
Marquee.

As the scrollbar, yes but don't assign it to the body.
Give the text box a class name and assign it to the class.

That's not really what i'm after...

I want something like a scrolling text box, but not for guests to write in,
or not one that just scrolls across the page endlessly. I want a box, which
they can scroll up and down, to view news stories. sort of like a regular
webpage, but within my current website.

i can't explain it very well, but, i hope you can sort of understand what
i'm talking about
thanks.

Here's what you want for the "scrolling text box".

<div align="left" style="border-style:solid; border-width:2px;
border-color:blue; background-color:#F0F8FF; overflow-y:scroll; width:200px;
height:300px">This is a div. It has a set width and height, and a vertical
scroll bar. You can put news and info in this box for your users to read.
 Scroll down for more 
 more</div>

wrote, and then paste it in my website's HTML?
where should i paste it? i tried pasting it where i wanted it in the HTML,
and it just came up as a bunch of writing.

but i'm running into trouble...

Yes, in code view you can copy and paste it where you want it and it should
display correctly.

Change "background-color:#F0F8FF;" to "background-image: url(pic.gif);" where
pic.gif is the name of the image you want to use. You may need to add
"background-repeat: no-repeat;" after that if you don't want the image to
tile. HTH.
