what I am trying to do is a ticker, (no ajax needed) to show what users are online, the problem is I don't know how to incorporate this into the site. I have a few questions: A ) the <MARQUEE> tag: how terrible is it to use if its legitimate? if its not acceptable anymore can you reccomend a decent alternative. i tried one css one, but the calculations were done with a scale of pixels, and i need it to span the entire length of the forum which is fluid, and all the math was on pixels so it was beyond my skills to rewrite it B ) how can i incorporate this into the header/footer section of invision power board? i have tried includes, they dont work in that area of the board. I researched a bit on google and found: <!--exec.file=xxxx.php--> but this just seems to execute the file and not actually display the results, in a perfect world id be able to do: CODE <MARQUEE> <?php include("file.php"); ?> </MARQUEE> and make the php file output the data like i want, but somehow i cannot seem to make ipb include the file like I want any suggestions? thanks This post has been edited by mckooter: Jun 7 2009, 10:21 PM -------------------- You can just call me Chris
