Headliner

The Headliner vertical scrolling applet reads a text file at given intervals, and scrolls into view any new text that has been added to that file. The oldest text is then scrolled out of view -- all without having to refresh your browser!

Author's Notes:
When reading the text file, if a new headline is discovered, the applet will scroll up oldest headline and the newest headline will scroll in from the bottom. So the applet will normally not be scrolling. It only scrolls when new text is detected. If no new text is detected, the applet does not scroll.
