    Note: Color coded lines above must be on one line. Breaks in the line will result in 'little' squares appearing in the text of your news ticker.

    Status: Free (commerical or non-commerical) with a status bar message that will appear when the applet is online on a site and regcode parameter isn't correct. Registration Fee of $39USD removes the status bar message.

    The Advanced Newsticker Java applet is available as part of Popular Applets Collection.
