This java news ticker applet collection contains horizontal and vertical
news ticker applets.
The vertical news ticker displays news items with
news headers and text and scrolls them vertically. The applet allows
the user to scroll the news items up or down and click on a link to open a
web page with the full text.
The news items are loaded as XML text, either through the applet parameters
or from a URL containing the XML formatted news items. The look and feel
of the news ticker can be configured with parameters such as background,
borders, fonts, colors, and scroll speed.
The horizontal news ticker scrolls news headers right to left and enables
to user to click on a news item and open a web page. The fonts and colors
can be controlled as well as the speed of the scrolling.
