The only thing wrong with the code you have posted is that there are two extra </a>'s in it. This shouldn't stop anything from being displayed, though it may mess up one or more links on the page, making them not work right in some browsers:
Code:
tickercontents[5]='Where the ticker stops</a>'
tickercontents[6]='<a href="http://www.freewarejava.com">LINK</a></a>'
If getting rid of the red parts doesn't take care of your problem,
PLEASE: Include the URL to your problematic webpage that you want help with.
