html marquee read external file?

Hi,

I'm trying to do a news highlight in marquee scroll up, but i do not want to use Java script (its annoying Allow AxtiveX Script Yellow stripes appear on top)

So is there any other way i can use in HTML to read external txt file into a marquee?

    you could use php to do the trick

    example:.

    <?php

    echo "<marquee>" . include("YourExternalFile.html") . "</marquee>";

    ?>

    or you could use mysql and periodical update the field in the table

    <?php

    $con = mysql_connect("MysqlHost","Username","Password");

    if (!$con)

    {

    die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());

    }

    mysql_select_db("my_db", $con);

    $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM news");

    while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))

    {

    echo "<marquee>" . $row['marqueetext'] . "</marquee>";

    echo "<br />";

    }

    mysql_close($con);

    ?>
