In this column we have introduced the cross-browser version of the scroller box. We have shown you several methods to deal with inconsistencies between the browsers. We have explained how to feed in an external HTML file, how to create the pages involved, and how to make the proper relations between the pages and the viewing area's canvas. We have discussed how to build the HTML feed and presented you with our example feed of DOC JavaScript columns.
