That is great david. I will check that out.

Speaking of tickers, that reminds me of something about Kirupas site. And if he reads this, he will find out too. He has a link under his NEW TUTORIALS section, it is called News Flasher, but the page it takes you to has no content, just the navigation and title, etc. Here is the link http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/newsflasher.asp

lol.. good catch. I'm sure he'll appreciate it.

as for my ticker.. do check it out. It took 5 hours to complete and I'd rather that time didn't go completely to waste. :)

I'm thinking that I may have an easier way to do the same thing too (slapping myself in the noggin) so I'll let you know if I can get the other method to work.

Hey david,
Sorry for the delay in noticing your post. I'll have it added shortly :)

Thanks,
Kirupa :rambo:
