Scrolling Content Blocks ?

[brent]

Hello,
Is there a way in WB to create a vertical scrolling content block?  Similar to how its done at:

Thanks,

Hello,

1.) if you give the contentarea in your template via css a fixed heigth you got vertical scrolling as soon as the content is larger then the height.

2.) If you only wanna have a part of the contentarea with vertical scrolling maybe this dirty workaround helps:
a.)create a hidden WYSIWYG page with "blank Template" as template.
b.)insert the content wich should be in the scrolling window
c.)add a "wrapper" section on the page where the scrolling content should appaer
d.)wrap this page with the full Url and give the height the scrolling area should have.

yep ... I successfully made a block for a customer with it, no issue. Just call the "page content" for the block in the code.

Thanks guys,
but what I ment was a scroller that scrolls content automatically like:

Almost like a vertical marquee.

Thanks,

And my answer is still "Yeas you can do it" ... there are a couple of scroller scripts like that one out there. Implementation is not hard at all.

You can put it into a block, you can use the anynews script with modified output ...

cheers
