The News ticker is JavaScript. And it runs just fine on Mozilla browsers. Personally I recommend FireFox as it is the most functional browser availible on ALL platforms. [size=9px](IE's non-standard exceptions not-with-standing)[/size]
This is the code for the newsbar function it's self:

/* Part 1: content description - edit to suit */
var defaultText = '';
var newsBarContent = [{NEWS_BAR}]; // newsBarContent[] blocks must be in the format ['href', 'text', 'target'] and blocks must be separated by commas
/* Part 2: "look and feel" variables - edit to suit */
var defaultTextTimeOut = 0; // the time the default text is displayed, in seconds
var newsBarTimeOut = 5; // the time a headline is displayed, in seconds
var newsBarSpeed = 20; // 1000 = 1 second
var leadingSign = '';
var newsBarStyle = 'style="position: relative; font-size: 12px;"';
var pauseNewsBarOnMouseOver = true; // true pauses NewsBar progress when mouse pointer is over links
/* Part 3: the NewsBar engine - tinker in here at your own risk! */
var contentIndex = 0;
var cursorPosition = 0;
var textLength = newsBarContent[0][1].length;
var newsBarCycle = null;
defaultTextTimeOut *= 1000;
newsBarTimeOut *= 1000;
if ( pauseNewsBarOnMouseOver ) var eventHandlers = ' onmouseout="newsBarCycle = setTimeout(\'newsBarNew()\', ' + newsBarTimeOut + ');" onmouseover="clearTimeout(newsBarCycle);">';
else var eventHandlers = '>';
function newsBarNew() {
if ( (newsBarContent[contentIndex][0] != '') && (cursorPosition == textLength) ) var text = '<a href="' + newsBarContent[contentIndex][0] + '" target="' + newsBarContent[contentIndex][2] + '"' + eventHandlers + newsBarContent[contentIndex][1] + leadingSign + '</a>';
else var text = newsBarContent[contentIndex][1].substring(0, cursorPosition) + leadingSign;
document.getElementById('newsbar').innerHTML = text;
if ( cursorPosition++ == textLength ) {
cursorPosition = 0;
newsBarCycle = setTimeout('newsBarNew()', newsBarTimeOut);
contentIndex++;
if ( contentIndex == newsBarContent.length ) contentIndex = 0;
textLength = newsBarContent[contentIndex][1].length;
}
else setTimeout('newsBarNew()', newsBarSpeed);
}
And this is the code that is placed in the HTML to run it:
Code:
<script>
document.write('<div>' + defaultText + '</div>');
setTimeout('newsBarNew()', defaultTextTimeOut);</script>
