Adding a news ticker to your SharePoint 2007 site without Flash

December 1st, 2008

I’ve written up some notes on using jQuery to improve the look & feel of your SharePoint site. This would be especially interesting to anybody trying to develop SharePoint sites using only SharePoint designer.

In the example I upload jQuery to the site (along with a BBC news ticker plug-in) and modify the page to reference jQuery and the plug in, then I modify a data-view to consume a SharePoint list into the jQuery plug-in. Essentially ending up with a nice news ticker web part without the need for Flash, custom web-parts or development.

jQuery can essentially give you Ajax/Flash like advantages without much work on your part. Simply upload the file and start plugging in.

    Great use of jQuery on MOSS. Can really see from this how jQuery plugins can consume list data.
