Hi!

I'm having a nightmare here!

I need to get a news ticker in place for the University's home page. I have
been looking into several options and trying to implement all the required
changes. I have one that looks good and I would be happy with.....but.....

It makes use of absolute <div> positioning. This is a problem as people
resizing their browser text will break the <div>s position......it also
creates problems in NS3 and NS6.....and the Mac browser seem to break
miserably with it.....so it is not use to us.

A sample of the work is at: http://www.ukc.ac.uk/newhome5.html

Some help on this code or suggestions of alternative validating, reliable
scripts are welcome!

Thanks

Jose
