Looks like javascript. I would go to google and search for "javascript scrolling text".

Re: Scrolling text box
Well that is a wothless gadget (the Flash).

Yes, what you mean is JavaScript. You can likely find it at a free script site, or just use it here as it is in the HTML.

I would not suggest it though as it is likley meant for important info. Thi is not as bad as some as it is moved by you, so the scrolling does not bother people.

But turn off your JavaScript and view the site. See? No text at all. Whatever they are trying to tell you they cannot.

This will be the case for:

  • Anyone using text browsers
  • Anyone using screenreaders based on text rowsers
  • Many using Handheld devices
  • Many Cell Phone users
  • Anyone in the estimeate 10% group that turnes off their JavaScript for whatever reason
  • Anyone working for millions of workers in companies who turn off JS on all company PC's for security reasons


It is a risk if the info you offer there is important.

Re: Scrolling text box
That would be preferable over JavaScript from an accessiblity view, but not as wide supported, only 6th generation browsers I think.

I've tried that, but all I ever find are scripts for text that actually moves along the bottom of the window or moves by itself within the box. :(

Re: Scrolling text box
If you look at the code of the website you gave us for an example for what you want to do, you find this:
<div id="p7scroller1" style="position:absolute; width:233px; height:235px; z-index:100; left: 456px; top: 25px; overflow: hidden; clip: rect(0px 250px 210px 0px); visibility: visible; border: 1px none #000000">

You still need to look up how p7scoller1 is defined, that may be relevant to this, I didn't check.
