Hello,

For a site I am making for a client they are requesting that I include database driven content.

They wouldl like to have the following (all driven by DB)

Scolling crawler - horizontal
Scrolling text-vertical

I have searched for codes to do this and have found a ton but none seem to be database driven and do not have web based config files.

Ideally I would like to have config files that my client can change via the web to make changes to both scrollers.

If this cannot be database driven no big deal but it would be very helpful so they could just call up what they want to display on the site.

I searched all of the possibilities on Hotscripts.com and only found one script like this with a config file. To use this script I must pay, but at the site to pay they will not answer questions I have, nor will they provide me with a sample of the config file.

I really don't want to pay for a script like this but if I must I would be happy to. Even if someone wants to make this for me I would be happy to pay for their work.

Please let me know if you can help of have seen a similar script avaliable. Should I maybe look into using something other than JavaScript. I don't have a very much coding experience thats why I am calling upon you as 'pros' to aid me in my quest.

Thank you very much for any input.

Jah

I'm not sure I can answer your question directly but you will definitly need to use something other than javascript to interact with the database.

The most common way now days is to use php with a mysql database. They are most common because 1) both are open source 2) both have a lot of people using them so if you need help it is easy to find someone who can... on a forum like this.

The cool thing about php is that once you have contacted the database you can then use it to create dynamic html, javascript or even dynamic css as needed.
