Text automatically scrolling in ASP.Net

Hi
I have a screen display news data stored in a database. Sometimes the amount
of data displayed exceeds the screen size. How can I make this scroll
automatically over and over again ?
thank Paul S

Hi

to scroll page or document element you can use

window.scrollTo
or
window.scrollBy

dom methods...

when your page's content change check the height of the document
element
if it exceeds the screen size make scroll your content..

Best of luck

Hello Paul,

You need to know how much text do you have, for example number of lines
and then you can use window.scrollBy Lines() or window.scrollBy Pages()

Hi Michael
The information has a ValidFrom property and a ValidTo property indicating
when it should be displayed so I have to calculate it when I generate the
page. I thought of building a table dynamically.
thanks

Hello Paul,

why to do in on server side?! rely on client, and do it via DOM model, because
you can't be sure about the opened size of browser window.

javascript will do this job smoothly

Try using one of the JavaScript scrollers out there. You will have to load
the text from your code behind, but that should be all you have to do to get
it working, at least in a basic implementation. If you want reuse, you will
make a server control that spits out the JavaScript.

Hello, I am redesigning my website and would like to have the text scroll within the webpage without the page itself scrolling.... if you understand what I mean... ;-) I want a very sleek look and would like to use little arrows that people could press to see more of the text rather than have a very long page.... How should I go about that? I use DW3. Can it be done???? Thanks for any info!! ;-)

I need to have a "scrolling" text label or textbox at the bottom of my window to show the URL of where a song is being played from.
