Javascript News/Headline Ticker (buildTicker)

Tag Name
---------------

buildTicker


Description
-----------------

Automatically builds a javascript news/headline ticker that scrolls up.  Each headline links to its own page of content.  You pass it a sectionID, and it will build the array of headlines to display in the ticker based on the QWP pages that are assigned to that sectionID. 


Required Parameters
-------------------------------
-sectionID = The section you wish to build the ticker headlines from.

-divID = The id you wish to assign to the div that is generated by the tag.  The name you assign is not very important, unless you are planning to add further javascript code to the page at some point or unless you need to further edit the styles for this div.

-tickerStyle = The CSS style you wish to assign to the div generated by the tag.  A style with the same name will exist in the CSS and allow you to control how the ticker looks.


Optional Parameters
------------------------------
-numberOfHeadlines = The number of items to appear within the ticker.  If no value is provided it will pull all headlines for the provided sectionID.

-pauseMilliseconds = The number of milliseconds to pause on each headline.


Sample Usage
------------------------------
[buildTicker:
    -sectionID=3,
    -numberOfHeadlines=3,
    -divID='pscroller2',
    -tickerStyle='tickerStyle',
    -pauseMilliseconds=3000;]
