Automatic scrolling of a list using javascript for dashboard purposes

[rannandale]

Hi Guys,

We have a requirement to place various dashboards on TVs around our business. Obviously this means that there will be no interaction with the screens.

I would like to use java script that scroll information from various list reports up and down, sideways etc etc. Find this java script doesn't appear to be a problem, however, when I try to use it in cognos it doesn't scroll. Other javascripts do work though, for instance the one that lets you click on column headers to sort the list. So general .js is obviously not a problem, just the auto scrolling one is getting to me.

The only solution so far that seems to 'work' is that you write a little html file, and use a div/iframe to for your report. This isn't particularly elegant though, due to the fact that the viewer actually frames your list report, resulting in the whole heading scrolling as well.

I really hope someone has done something like this before

Thanks guys!
