Javascript News Scroller

I'm looking for a javascipt vertical news scroller that will scroll
from the bottom of the page to the top showing many new items.

Would really appreciate some help. The scroller I'm using at the
moment only shows one news item at a time, can anyone suggest code I
could insert to show many news items?

Another reason is that <marqueeis not accessible: the user can not
control it, can not make it stop, slow down, restart, etc.

Other possible alternatives for the OP:

One good example (cross-browser, using validated markup code,
accessible) of using a right to left DHTML marquee:

with javascript. BTW, you incidentally answered your own question: why
use js? For normal basic accessibility and usability reasons.

The webpage at
http://devedge-temp.mozilla.org/tool.../index_en.html
may offer more power, customization, configurability to people
potentially interested in implementing a news ticker, DHTML-marquee.

I think the 99% may be exagerated a bit. It's possibly 90% - 95% now
(just a hunch). Recently, Chris Wilson said (I can not/no longer find
where..., can't recall wehre) that out of 200 major websites on the web
which were not using web standards in 2001, about 100 of them are now
using web standards in their websites. Things are moving, improving
slowly (I hope).

No, you are mixing the Qs up, Gérard.

A JS scroller was asked for in the OQ, I suggested <marqueewhich is not a
js scroller, but can be controlled by js, which had been negated by you.

If it took 7 years for 50% to create valid markup, it looks promising to
get to 90% by 2020 :-)

Too much ! ! That works in my FF, Safari and Opera !
Thought it was IE slang !

The tag 'marquee' is part of HTML 4 ?

It was said in this thread it is not.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating however.

Anyone else see this in Firefox?
