Hi Chris,

I am trying to integrate news from certain categories into vertical and horizontal news scrollers.

I have tried :

Code:

<IE:Download ID="marqueedata" STYLE="behavior:url(#default#download)" />
<marquee id="externalmarquee" direction=up scrollAmount=2 style="width:145px;height:305px;border:1px solid #CCCCFF;padding:5px" onMouseover="this.scrollAmount=0" onMouseout="this.scrollAmount=2" src="<?php
$cat = "News";
include 'news/index.php';
?>">
</marquee>

Which sort of works but includes some script in the scrolled news as well as the news text.

I know that marquees are deprecated, however, they are very useful for scrolling football results in a retro style.

Please can you point me in the right direction ?

Thanks Chris,

Used your revised code and added the $cat = "News"; back into the <?php tags and it works fine.
