Help with News Scroller
I'm using a Java Applet to display news to users on a site that I'm working on, it's just displaying text that you hard code into the htm document. What I'm wondering is if there's a way that you can have it set up that the user can enter new news to the ticker, without actually having to know html? Any help would be greatly appreciated...

That would be very complicated, frankly. You'd need some sort of server-side assistance to transmit data back and forth. You'd need to use PHP or Perl to accomplish this, most likely.

I'm not aware of any Java Applets that allow you to do this- however, if you're just looking for a way to allow visitors to submit news, you could try something like phpnuke (to get an effect like slashdot.org )
