VertTextScroller.java

You've seen scrolling tickers come and go, but take a good look at this one. It features smooth scrolling, manual scrolling/pausing, automatic pausing, highlighted URL links, error checking, and many fonts, styles, and colors to choose from. The applet is free to use, but will display the consulting.com, Inc. url in the browser's status bar. Price for a version without the status bar display is $24.99.

Usage: Download VertTextScroller.zip and place the files within your HTML directory.
