Adding news, stock tickers, and other junk to an HTML page

[filburt1]

Whether using SSI, JSP, or something else I don't know about, can I add news headlines, stock tickers, and other stuff like that to my page? A Java applet or some Javascript for the ticker will do, but not for the news headlines.

if you are only using html you don't have a choice.

serverside language is your only bet if you don't want those.

I know JSP already; is there a page I can include using SSI perhaps?

[scoutt]

if you make a html page with all the news on it, then you can include that in the main page you want it.

then all you need to do is update that one page. I am not sure if you can do it automatically without using perl or asp or php.

[filburt1]

But the question is, is there already such a page out there I can use for SSI inclusion?

[scoutt]

not sure, might have to search for that. that would almost like loading someone elses page without permission.

[filburt1]

Meh.

Take a look at this:

Probably not directly applicable, but that RSS is something to look into.
