Processing an RSS Feed Into Horizontal Scroller

Hi,

I can process an RSS feed into a webpage. This usually results in a list of links and short article descriptions.

I am developing a webpage and my client requires a horizontal scrolling news feed along the bottom of the homepage.

I have been searching around and I can not seam to find a solution to this. The problem is, processing the news feed into a scroller. Do I need to combine with a Javascript scroller script perhaps?

Please let me know if anyone can help on this one.

cheers

Andy

You will have to use a JavaScript scroller script so you will need to process the RSS feed into a form that can be fed to the script.

Please DO NOT use the MARQUE tag as this is non-standard.

Also consider how people are going to get the newsfeed if JavaScript is turned off or not available.

Always consider accessibility issues.

I'm moving this thread to the JavaScript forum.
