Ticker AND slideshow all in one
This free JavaScript combines a great ticker with a great slideshow! Ticker and slideshow are synchronized. You may put ticker and slideshow each on a separate place. Both can be different in size! Very easy to configure. Crossbrowser: Internet Explorer 5x/6x/7/8x, Firefox 2x/3x/4x, Opera 7x/8x/9x/10x, Google Chrome 3x/4x.

Configuration:

Step 1: This is the code for the ticker. Insert it where you wish the ticker to appear. Then go to the top of the ticker script and configure messages, links, font-attributes, colors, border, size and speed.

// IMPORTANT:
// If you add this script to a script-library or script-archive
// you have to add a highly visible link to
// http://www.fabulant.com on the webpage
// where this script will be featured
