Hi Guys!
im in a pickle, im trying to display a excel sheet that is streamed as a HTML page and i need to to auto scroll every couple hours, i figured i could use a time event but i have no idea how to make the page scroll on its own, any ideas?

Mark Richards I've used marquee in the past to achieve the scrolling effect on brightsigns, though this has now been superseded by CSS animations (which I've not tested in a brightsign).
I've also used event listeners on web pages on Brightsigns to trigger something to happen a period after the page has loaded.
So you could try something like:
Wrap your sheet in a marquee object:
<body>
<!-- scroll stuff -->
<marquee class="GeneratedMarquee" id="scroll-list" direction="up" scrollamount="0" scrolldelay="100" behavior="scroll" vspace="0px" style="height:200px;">
<p>Stuff1</p>
<p>Stuff2<p>
</marquee>
</body>Then use a script on the page to change the scollAmount of the marquee in the DOM:
<script>
function timedRefresh(5000) { <!-- do something after 5 seconds -->
document.getElementById("scroll-list").stop();
document.getElementById("scroll-list").scrollAmount=6;
document.getElementById("scroll-list").start();
}if (window.attachEvent) {window.attachEvent('onload', timedRefresh(5000));}
else if (window.addEventListener) {window.addEventListener('load', timedRefresh(5000), false);}
else {document.addEventListener('load', timedRefresh(5000), false);}
</script>
