| NewsClip new release version 0.9 beta Free for private use Commercial use requires a license |
NewsClip allows you to display multiple messages in a single small area of any web page. The messages (headlines and body texts) are read from a simple text file on your server (see CLIPFILE in parameter list below). To update displayed data it's only necessary to update/replace the text file - no need to modify your HTML.
The example above uses fairly coarse and quick scrolling. You can adjust scrolling from completely smooth to none (frames switch immediately) via applet parameters. Borders are optional.
