[WSG] news scroller and standards

I have a client who is insisting on having a newscroller on his front page. While there are many options, Java, Flash, DHTML, open to me to fulfil the scroller request I just wondered what anyone felt was the most standards compatible solution? Many thanks

RE: [WSG] news scroller and standards
