In your code :

<a href="<?php echo $linkstr?>" class="store3"><?php echo $newsstr?></a></div><br>

Change to

<a href="<?php echo $linkstr; ?>" class="store3"><?php echo $newsstr; ?></a></div><br>

You are missing the ending semi colon in your echo statements.

Let us know how that works out for you

Actually there is nothing wrong with

<?php echo $linkstr?>

since there is only a single statement the semicolon can be omitted.

The problem is that http://www.kalpesh.c...nclude/news.txt is NOT returning anything. The marquee is working but there is nothing there to see.

Also the correct way to check against strpos is

$spos = strpos($line,"NEWS="); if($spos !== false)

and NOT

 $spos = strpos($line,"NEWS=");  if($spos != null && $spos > 0) 

because if the string you are searching is found at position 0 then your statement will evaluate to false.

Awesome! Good find.

The whole things runs fine in IE6, IE7, FF2 provided that i read news.txt locally and not from your server.
There is however some problem with FF3 where the marquee is NOT scrolling.
If you remove

border-collapse: collapse;

it will fix the problem.
