Applet Parameters Specification
Ticker supports following parameters (these can be set from HTML
Applet code):
|
symbols
|
comma separated list of symbols to show. symbols should be supported by
the feed. Example:
MSFT,IBM,ORCL,INTC. This parameter also
supports adding name field for any symbol, so, when Setting displayFields
to show names, name instead of symbol is displayed. Here is sample usage for name field:
MSFT=Microsoft,IBM,ORCL=Oracle,INTC
As you can see, you can enter company names only for symbols you are interested, for the
other, symbol is considered as name also.

Ticker Feed Explained
The ticker applet gets data from a URL located on the same server that
the ticker is hosted (so, on client's site). In this site, we call this
URL: feed. This is because of JavaTM security restrictions:
applets can only connect to the server they are hosted.
Please download demo to see feed protocol.
