I have been looking for a newsticker a la http://pras.net.np/blogs/create-bbc-style-news-ticker-drupal
but when one tries to download the code there are problems
http://archive.plugins.jquery.com/index.php?q=project/BBCnewsTicker
A quick search on drupal for newstickers brings up issues of confusion.

I would just like to have a text marching across a block informing about vacation closures and the like.
Thanks
