RE: [WSG] Accessible headline 'scroller'
Nick Roper wrote on Saturday, 14 July 2007 at 7:46 p.m. Hi All, A customer has asked for a region of a page to display 'scrolling' news headlines. The example site that they have given is: http://www.imeche.org/ They would like something similar but with the following modifications: 1) Slower rate of traverse 2) Less vertical space so that only one headline is read at a time. 3) Headline pauses momentarily to allow reading and clicking of link. $64K question: is there a way of doing this that is accessible and compliant? I know the specs say to avoid scrolling text, but thought I'd ask anyway. You could take a look at the following: http://onlinetools.org/tools/domnews/ It's fully accessible and meets *most* of the requirements you outlined above.

Re: [WSG] Accessible headline 'scroller'
Thats Javascript. Im not to tough at Javascript, but im sure you could detect if the user has Javascript enabled, if not provide a box with vertical scrolling, or a box with say 2 or 3 articles. That example you provided is a good example in itself. If you dont know Javascript im sure there are plenty of examples within google. Hope that helps.
