Some of you have asked how the navigation ticker on the Discovery Home Page is done.
The anwser is "with gross browser incompatibility". The original ticker used the
Active X sequencing command to walk through the items. With the release of IE4 for
Mac we've had to rethink our us of VBscript and Active X components so the ticker
has been redone in Javascript.
Note: The time controls are in the onload commmand in the BODY tag. Default is 5 seconds.(5000 miliseconds)
between page flips.
