This ticker works by displaying Web standards compliant HTML blocks of code. Formatting is accomplished with simple HTML and CSS. Very clean and sleek.

JavaScripts

JavaScript programs are contained within the HTML code of the Web page and are interpreted by the browser as it's read.

JavaScript provides greater flexibility through such luxuries as being able to create windows, display moving text, sound or other multimedia elements with relative ease.

Some Basics

JavaScript is not Java; it is an object-based scripting language; and it is cross-platform.
