Python & Zope? Gurus
Hi, Instead of giving a fixed list of news, like you can with dtml, I would like to let the news scroll vertical in a frame/applet. ie. The first news classes are shown. Then the scrolling stops for a certain time. After that time, the next 5 news classes are shown, etc... Later on if possible, mouse-interaction (a user can click on the frame/applet and then move the mouse up/down to move the news classes. I know this can be done with Java applets, but can this also be done through Python? So that it can be loaded into Zope as a project? Is there someone who knows if this is possible? And can give me somewhere a link from where I can start creating it? Thanks in advance. Tom.

The <IFRAME> tag allows you to create a frame inside the main window. You could use that and a little bit of Javascript to achieve the effect that you want. See the HTML 4.01 reference for more info: http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/present/frames.html#h-16.5 -- Stephen Pitts smpitts@midsouth.rr.com webmaster - http://www.mschess.org

This is ultimately a client side issue, since it is the browser that has to make the scrolling happen. I think your solution would probably end up being Java, Javascript/DHTML or Flash, and there are probably packaged solutions for each of these... Just a few days ago, a Flash-based headline viewer was mentioned on http://www.scripting.com Kevin
