Creating a Scrolling Animation that displays text

Any suggestions on technologies suited for this?

I've got a webpage that pulls headlines (just text,not hyperlinks) from an XML file. My manager would like these headlines to scroll on their own so that we may incorporate additional headlines. This means no scroll bar on the right side, but an auto-scroll.

My current design has the headlines displayed within a <div> layer.

Are there any methods out there that are well suited for this?

Thanks for any suggestions and/or links to tutorials!

There are Java Applets that will do this. If you search for Java news scroller, you'll find some results. There are Flash-based approaches and DHTML approaches as well.

Thanks, I did the search and I found an example right away. I'm not sure how I'm going to implement the XML read but I will give it a shot. Thanks for your help!
