LIVE DEMO: http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/forum/scroller.htm
and without the Iframe Border http://www.waltdisneyboards.com/forums.php

Then this is for you, A Small so easy to add script, thats customizable in every way.

I'm dedicating this hack to my friend "Arny" from the Walt Disney Boards, who put the idea into my head when he sent me a hidious Javascript, with about 100 lines of text that did basically the same, So thats for the idea Arny and I hope you enjoy the finished product.

Using a Basic iFrame code, You can add scrolling text, links and clickable pictures and with a small file to add where ever you want to put your new iFrame it couldn't be easier to do. You can adjut the size of the box to go the full width of your boards or to fit in a small corner, it really is adjustable ;)
