A little help with frames would be nice...

[SmashingDesigner]

Hi all. I'm struggling with a small problem that has plagued me for two or three days now. I'm new to coding web pages and am wanting to create a scrolling 'news' box using iFrames for my personal site.

Basically, I've got my home page and have set it up with an HTML area open for the iFrame and have coded it correctly to where it loads my news page. Is there any way to get this page to scroll up, kind of like a marquee effect?

Any help would be appreciative. I'm using Marcomedia Dreamweaver MX.

In your iframe statement do you have scroll set to yes?

I would suggest CSS... but being you have allready coded it no need.

Setting scrolling to yes gives the iframe a scroll bar and doesn't actually make it move by itself. Sigh...

You need to script that to have it autoscroll. You may be able to find a prefab script for it, I dunno.
