Just place a web viewer on your layout with "cf_WV_Ticker" as the formula.
Attributes for 'direction' are:
up, down, left, right
Use web colors (hex-code) for text-color and bond-color.

This CF has been updated to deal with the new API introduced with iOS 9. Though this insert was done between <head> AND <style Tag: <meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"initial-scale=1.0\" />Â¶ see FMI Issue Report "WV rendering differences with FMGo 15 compared to FMGo 14" https://community.filemaker.com/thread/156371 and Description in Apple Developer Forum: https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/13510 special thanks goes to user14047 and TSGal (FMI Tech Support)

with changes with the Safari Webkit introduced with macOS Sierra AND iOS10, the Webticker was rendered in more than 1 Line. With the current version of this CF, Text is embedded in no-line-break Tags (< nobr >) to keep it straight.
