DB content in a scroll message

[camillaj]

I have found a way to scroll a message in a textbox on a page. That is, the message starts at the bottom and slowly fades out on the top of the textbox. But this message is static.

Does anyone know how I can first retrieve some DB info, store it in a table etc and then use it for the scroll?

When the page loads I want to retrieve DB info, store it in a, array etc... and then call the script that does the scrolling.

Is it posible to call a javascript from within an asp page (not when a button is clicked)?

Thanks for any help

OK, Have you thought through what you actually want to happen?

The table you want displayed - do you only need to get the information once, when the page loads? Or does the table content need to be dynamic, continually updating as it scrolls?

Do you want the scrolling to be automatic or manual? If it's automatic, do you want it to start as soon as the page loads? Scroll once or keep scrolling until the page unloads? Do you want to be able to stop it mid-scroll so that the user can actually read the content?

Try to focus more on what you want to achieve rather than what you've found, how you think you might store the information etc.
