View Full Version : Need an Automatic Continuous Scroller

We have used lots of different scrollers, JS, DHTML, etc. They are great but none of them does a good job of handling a smooth transition from the end of my list back to the start. Mostly they let the scroller area go completely blank and then start again by repeating my list.

What I really want is a smooth scroll that simply starts over with item #1 while item #10 is still scrolling up the screen. Maybe with a nice dividing line to tell the user we are repeating now.

Anything like that around?

Thanks for your response. I guess I should have been more specific. What I need is a text scroller that scrolls vertically and displays something like 20 lines of text at one time.

Here is an example of what I want,

But the problem with this one (as with others we have tried) is, at the end of the text it goes completely blank before starting over. I want it to run in a continuous loop without ever displaying a blank box.
