@Hank AJAX is not something you need to install on the server. This script uses some techniques that could be refered to as AJAX but it should work fine on your server without anything being installed.

Does this require AJAX? I am also a novice developer – and I do not have AJAX installed (our application team refuses to install it).

Is there a Non-AJAX version?

Thanks

OK, I was using jquery-1.3.2.min.js rather than jquery.js which caused the issue with the scrolling… but I still have an issue with some of the text associated with the 1st announcement being displayed “behind” the scrolling text..

Mouseover doesn’t appear to stop the scrolling; which is pretty “jumpy” as noted before.

@ Lisajo48 The ticker.js script is from here

I checked the jquery link and it opens the script OK so I don’t think it’s that. But, to be sure I saved the file to a doc lib and updated the link in the CEWP accordingly. I did the same for the ticker.js script which I’m assuming is the EasySlider1.7 (he updated 1.5 so I used it): I downloaded the EasySlider, found the .js file amongst the others, uploaded it to a doc lib, and updated the link in the CEWP. No change resulted. I get what looks like a table/frame structure in the CEWP, but no content. There was also mention of putting the code on the server (assuming SP WFE). If so, where? ?Would that make the difference for me? Again, I apologize for my newbie questions but your help would be greatly appreciated. Or, maybe some one else who’s used your ticker could answer these questions too?

@ Lisajo48 try linking to a local copy of jquery just to be sure that is not the issue. Also make sure the link to the ticker.js script is right on line #2.

Hi,
I’m a novice developer and light on coding. I pasted the code above into my CEWP, added an ‘s’ to the link for google since I’m working in a secured environment (this has worked fine for other CEWP source code additions) and it is on the page. The only problem is that there is no content in it. I checked to confirm that the list it is looking to is ‘Announcements’ which is the same as mine. Why am I not seeing the existing content in my announcements list? What am I missing? Thanks!

@tecrms I am planning on rewriting the code to fix that issue. I’ll post the update soon.

I noticed that as well. I thought it was just the browser I was using (IE6).

This is great CEWP but I find that the scroll jitters when adding a new item to the bottom.
