Creates message scrollers - all aspects are configurable.
Browser support
| Internet Explorer 4+ | Applying margins, padding or positioning to parent elements can make scrollers obscure other content in IE 5 Mac |
|---|---|
| Opera 7+ | Script works as expected |
| Gecko engine browsers (Mozilla, Firefox, Netscape 6+, etc) | Script works as expected |
| KHTML/WebKit (Konqueror, Safari, OmniWeb 4.5+, iCab 4+) | Works as expected in Konqueror 3.1, Safari and OmniWeb 4.5+. Does not work in Konqueror 2 and clipping looks odd in Konqueror 3.0 |
| iCab 3- | iCab 2 works using iframes (slight flicker as it rewrites) |
| Rhino + W3C DOM (ICEbrowser) | Script works as expected |
| Rhino + layers/W3C DOM (Escape/Evo, iBrow) | Escape 5 creates scrollers, but fails to animate them - Escape 4 does not show borders and leaves big gaps around scrollers |
| NetFront 3+ | Script works as expected in NetFront 3.4+, 3.3- shows blank squares |
| Opera 5 and 6 | Works using iframes (slight flicker as it rewrites) - adds a history entry with each scroll |
| Netscape 4 | Script works as expected |
| OmniWeb 4.2- | Scrollers make a mess and do not scroll |
| Rhino + pDOM (Clue browser) | Shows blank squares |
| WebTV | Shows nothing |
| Tkhtml Hv3+ | Scrollers are created, and work, but clipping fails |
| Netgem NetBox | Not tested but it should work |
| OpenTV | Not tested but it should work |
| iPanel MicroBrowser | Not tested but it should work |
