Hi Guys,
Ive been doing my nut in trying to get my ticker to work, im trying to set one up which can be put on a number of different sites, like a news ticker, which I can update centrally from a page on my site. It will have football scores for my local teams and a number of sites are interested. I have got a ticker (superlinfield.com/IFU.htm) but I can't get it to work outside my site ie anothersite.com/IFU.htm)...........Does anybody know if what I want to do is possible or if there is any tickers which can do this. Thanks

first you will need a client-side ticker. do you have any? else, check my
signature.

second, if you want to update the ticker from different sites, you will need a
database and admin section on one site, and then each ticker to get data
from the database using scripts placed on each server. Unless you want to
use iframes which is not recommended.

let me know on PM if you want help.
