Don,
I'll assume you have already deployed the jPowered plugin on some page which I'll refer to as your original page.
It appears that once the page containing the plugin has been loaded then dynamically replacing the innerHTML of the div that gets displayed causes the plugin to malfunction.
So a simple solution is to replace the plugin on your original page with an IFRAME of the appropriate size and use a timer to refresh the IFRAME with a page that just contains the plugin.
So, first you create the macro that just displays some static text which scrolls using the jPowered plugin.
Then replace the static text with a Net.data function the outputs whatever dynamic text you desire.
Then on your original page, at the place where you want to put the scroller, insert the code for the IFRAME as follows -
<iframe id="scrollframe" src="scroll" height="255px" width="225px" frameborder="0"
onload="setTimeout('scrollframe.document.location.reload()',60000)">
</iframe>
In this example I've specified a delay of 60 seconds between refreshing the content.
Note that the default size for the jPowered scroller is 200 x 200 so the IFRAME needs to be a little bigger (255 x 225) to contain the scroller without scrollbars appearing.
In my example I used a single source file that had both the macro for the original page plus the "scroll" macro for the IFRAME.
Cheers, Peter

Peter,
Below is the request from the user:
"I was doing some thinking about the sayings on the scrolling text on
the intranet. Can you make it so that it is a random saying from a list
you have saved somewhere? It stays the same for some time now. I think
it would be cool for it to randomly generate some saying that we have
picked out. What do you think?"

<!-- scrolling content -->
<div id="JPSCROLL_content" style="visibility:hidden; height: 100px;
width: 1px; overflow:hidden;"> OK-so much for the Bucks. Back to the
Packers - who'll want to face them in the playoffs?
Anyone have an example of 'plugging' in a variable set of messages -
maybe based on dates?
Obviously - I'm from Wisconsin!
