Getting different content in two scrollers

Hi,

I had posted yesterday about creating two different scrollers on my website. I have been able to create two instances of the scroller. However, for the first instance I want to get the news from CNSNews.com and it works. It displays the news from that site. You can view the code which I had to enter in my html file at the following URL:

http://www.cnsnews.com/ticker/ticker_signup.asp

For the second instance, I want it to get the immigration news from

http://story.news.yahoo.com/fc?cid=34&tmpl=fc&in=US&cat=Immigration

Is it possible? Presently both instances of the scroller get the news from CNS site even though I tried to get the content of the second one from a file or the above site.

I am enclosing the javascript file where I get the news from CNS website. Your help will be very much appreciated. You can view my website at the following URL and see both the scrollers:

http://www.legalgurus.com

Thank you,
Mukesh Kumar

Default browser's security settings makes it impossible to get Tigra Scroller content via 'file' key from different domain (not one where script is called).

Ref: Getting different content in two scrollers

Hi,

Thanks for your response. Still, I am unclear as to how to get the content of the following URL in my first scroller.

http://story.news.yahoo.com/fc?cid=34&tmpl=fc&in=US&cat=Immigration

Say, I just want content from the above site and have only one scroller. I don't want the content from CNS News site and have only the scroller for Immigration News from Yahoo site.

Could you please explain how to get the data from above mentioned URL and not a file?

Thanks for your help,
Mukesh Kumar

You could use server side to get content from another site and paste the content via 'content' key of ITEMS var.

Ref: Getting different content in two scrollers

Hi,

Thanks again for your response but I couldn't get it still working. Please have a look at the following URL where I have two scrollers:

http://www.legalgurus.com

In the first scroller I want to get the content from CNS News feed which works fine and it gets the data from there. In the second scroller I want to get the content from a text file. I tried putting the following for second scroller:

'file' : 'data.txt'

It didn't work then I tried:

'content' : 'data.txt'

That too didn't work. I have the file 'data.txt' with some text in it in the same directory. So, it shold get the text for the second scroller from that file but it doesn't work. Could you please help me here? I want to get the content for the second scroller from a local text file which you had suggested.

Hoping to hear from you,

Regards,
Mukesh Kumar
