I downloaded rsspausescroller.zip and installed it. Everything ok, accept for the CNN feed.
The HTML code does not get converted and shows in the feed as HTML code.
This happens with the demo program as well - so nothing I did.
The demo program is installed at a test site: http://www.shared.dyoweb.com/rss_scroller/demo.htm

Any help on this is appreciated.

But, this isn't PHP. It's JavaScript. Also, since it's a dd script, post it under the category that says "Dynamic Drive Scripts Help". You'll get better answers there.

Also, it should be noted that you cannot use HTML in that script.

This may help with implementing HTML in RSS, but I myself never done it.

Added note: The <img> tag doesn't have a terminating </img> tag, that's invalid HTML. It should be terminated with shorttag like this:


<img src="" alt="" />


Good luck.
