News Headlines
January 24, 2000
News headlines -
from general world news to specific industry or topic-oriented
news - might be a great addition to your site. Be aware,
however, that free headlines are only free because they
link to the articles on the provider's site, so you may
suffer some viewer leakage...
Headlines are typically rendered by one of two different
methods:
a Java
ticker applet, or
a JavaScript
source inclusion. Tickers take up little screen estate, but
your user has to wait if they want to see all the headlines.
Included headlines take up much more screen space but can be
seen immediately. Your choice :)
The 7am Headline News Ticker is
a free news service from
7am News
that brings you the very latest in News headlines -
24hrs a day, 365 days a year.
The Ticker itself is a very small Java applet that can be
added to your own pages by including just a small amount of
extra HTML code - generated for you by their
Installation Wizard.
7am News take care of everything else. They collect the very
latest news headlines and links from the world's top news
sites and deliver them to your pages through the ticker.
This means that the ticker provides your visitors with a
stream of regularly updated content.
Some of the available categories of news topics include:
- WORLDnews
-
Non-U.S. news and current-event stories from all over the world.
- AUSnews
-
News and current-event stories about and from Australia.
- NZLnews
-
News and current-event stories about and from New Zealand.
- USnetnews
-
News stories about the Internet industry and market in the U.S.A.
- WORLDnetnews
-
News and stories about the Internet industry and markets around the world.
- GOODnews
-
News and stories from around the world which focus on the positive
side of the news.
- INVESTORnews
-
News on economic, legal, managerial, and investment information around
the world.
The Artigen News Ticker is another way to view the headline
news presented within the Integrated Newswire. It is a very
small (7 k) Java applet that can be embedded in your web
pages free of charge. By clicking on a headline the full
story is loaded into a browser window.
Add the following HTML to your page:
<APPLET CODE ="INewswireTicker.class"
CODEBASE="http://www.artigen.com/newswire"
WIDTH = 550 HEIGHT=33>
<PARAM NAME="channel" VALUE="scitech">
<PARAM NAME="speed" VALUE="medium">
<PARAM NAME="target" VALUE="_self">
<PARAM NAME="headline1" VALUE="Your custom headline 1">
<PARAM NAME="link1" VALUE="Your url for headline 1">
</APPLET>
The channels available are: infotech, world, scitech,
health, and coolsite. This is the only required parameter.
Valid values for speed are: slow, medium, fast
The target is the name of the browser window that
will show the requested stories. If this parameter is not
specified or has the value "_self" the articles will be
loaded into the window that contains the applet.
The headlineN and linkN parameters are
optional but you may include up to five if you wish.
