Simple Mooticker module displays horizontal scrolling text using the Joomla! build in mootools framework. You can choose if you want to type your text manually or still take the latest news from sections or categories (by ID). The module has several styling options like width, height, background color, border styles and font styles. Additionally you can choose the scrolling direction. It generates a valid output and uses "div" tags only. For users with javascript disabled in their browsers you can define a text for the "no script" tag. Please read the mouseover descriptions for the parameters.
Simple Mooticker v.1.5.3 for Joomla! 1.5.x native by medien.stroeme (www.medienstroeme.de) is based on the original mooquee script from Dirar Abu Kteish (www.developer.ps/moo/mooquee) and the Joomla! core module "latest news".
The script has been successfully tested in IE5.5, IE6, IE7, FF2, FF3 and Opera 9.5 (for windows). Enjoy it!

Easy to install. Lots of flexibility in the settings. Very good extension. Thanks a lot!

Does the job and, best of all, it is easy to modify the look from within the module. The tooltips are helpful. Integrates easily into my RocketTheme template and displays smoothly for me in in Firefox and Safari but is slightly jerky in Internet Explorer - but not bad enough to make me not to want to use it. I guess it's an IE problem. One day MS will get it right...

Simple to set up and get running. Only issues I had were that when specifying to get content from articles it only ever returned the titles, and when manually entering the text it didn't like single apostrophe characters.
