Trying to embed two copies of a JS scrolling ticker web part on a share point page. The code is below. The ticker gets a Share POint list as an RSS feed.

It works fine when only one ticker is embedded in a Content Editor web part. When embedding two, only the older one shows. The newer one displays the first message in the code below: "Something is wrong with the RSS Feed..."

Obviously, it seems to not be getting past that line of code.

Sorry, completely new to this... any ideas?

Code:
<html>
<head>
<title>JavaScript RSS ticker</title>
<style type="text/css"><!--
body {
  font-family: Arial;
}
#ticker1 {
  font-size: 13pt;
   background-color: #D6E8FF;
}
--></style>
</head>
<body>

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
function rss_ticker1(url) {
  // Create ticker div
  document.write('<div id="ticker1">Something is wrong with the RSS Feed...<div>');

  // Create XMLHttpRequest object
  try {
   xy = new ActiveXObject('Msxml2.XMLHTTP');
  }
  catch(e) {
    try {
      xy = new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLHTTP');
    }
    catch(oc) {
      xy = null;
    }
  }
  if(!xy && typeof XMLHttpRequest != 'undefined') xy = new XMLHttpRequest();

  // Get the RSS feed
  xy.open('GET', url, true);
xy.send(null);
  xy.onreadystatechange = function() {
    if (xy.readyState == 4&&xy.status==200) {
      parse_data(xy.responseText);
    }
  }
  
}

// Parse the RSS feed and write to the ticker div
function parse_data(data) {
  var pos = 0;
  var ticker1 = document.getElementById('ticker1');
  ticker1.innerHTML = '';
  while((pos = data.indexOf('<item>', pos+1)) != -1) {
    title_b = data.indexOf('<title>', pos);
    title_e = data.indexOf('</title>', pos);
    title_s = data.substr(title_b+7, title_e-title_b-7);

    link_b = data.indexOf('<link>', pos);
    link_e = data.indexOf('</link>', pos);
    link_s = data.substr(link_b+6, link_e-link_b-6);
    
    start_s = "➦"
    seperator_s = "&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"

    ticker1.innerHTML += ''+start_s+'<a href="' +link_s+ '">'+title_s+' '+seperator_s+' </a>';
  }
}
</script>
