hi !

i've made a ticker tape, but now the boss wants to be able to change it himself, he wants an "external" ticker tape where he simply changes the text and the webpage calls the tape/text. He doesn't want to upload the whole webpage again but just to upload the new text.
????????

hope i explain that right?

can this be done

thanks

Yes this can be done but with PHP functions.

Make sure ur page is saved as .php for this to.

U simply use this method


<marquee><?php include("tickertape.html"); ?></marquee>


This is telling the page to include the file tickertape.html which will contain your information that needs to be displayed. Then you boss will just have to open tickertape.html and change his text and then only update his file.

Of course the other option would be to use an SQL database with PHP functions, but thats possibly a bit more advanced.

if youre not useing php or something like that i would create an external javascript page that would be included whenever the page need to be updated. on this js page, simply have a variable that can be changed, depending on what you want said.

I have exactly what your looking for. A year or two ago
my ex-boss requested the exact same thing. I still have it zipped up. Basicly you need to unzip it and it's ready to go.

Let me know if you still need it and I'll forward it and instruction to you.
