The HTML compatible scroller is a simple JavaScript that can easily be added to your site. In the simplest terms this is all you need to display the scroller:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/JavaScript"
    SRC="http://www.readerboards.org/O/NIQ/Newsfeed.js">
</SCRIPT>

When you place this in the body of your web-page it will be replaced with the HTML code to display the headlines of the seven most recent News In Queue™ stories. The scroller will display as an un-ordered list. You may enclose it within table cells and FONT tags in order to customize it to the format and look of your own web site.




Improved Formatting Examples

Here's an example of how you might embed the scroller in a table to improve formatting and readability.

<CENTER> <TABLE WIDTH="65%"> <TR> <TD BGColor="CCCCDD" ALIGN="CENTER">         <TABLE WIDTH="90%"><TR><TD>         <FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="1">         <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/JavaScript"         SRC="http://www.readerboards.org/O/NIQ/Newsfeed.js">         </SCRIPT>         </FONT>         </TD></TR></TABLE> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <CENTER>

Here's what that actually looks like on a page:
